This gives us a #1 WR and a deep threat and he is still very young.


Thoughts???

I dunno if they do this since they also have Samuel hitting FA. 

Also, DJ Moore is going to be in the final year of his contract this coming year unless his 5th round option is picked up. And that option is going to be somewhat expensive. Moore is going to get paid like a WR1 when his rookie contract is up. The Bengals will more likely want a guy who gets around 500-800 yards as a WR2/3 and come (way) cheaper, as they have two guys already who are basically 1000 yard WRs.

I was thinking though that a trade makes sense, but I think it could go something like this...
CAR trades their 1st (8), 3rd (72), and next year's 1st to take 3rd overall from MIA and get their QB.
MIA now has picks two picks in each of the first three rounds (8, 18, 36, 50, 73, and 82) plus an extra 1st next year.
They know that PHI is likely going to go after a WR since Alshon Jeffery is going to be 31 and DeSean Jackson is 34, and neither produced well in 2020. As such, MIA trades up to 5 ahead of PHI to get their WR of choice, giving CIN (at least) pick 8 and 50.

That would give the Bengals an extra 2nd rounder to work with, which would be huge given the number of holes they need to fill/improve.
