IMO, you don't trade an affordable, known Pro-Bowl caliber commodity for an unknown commodity (draft pick) - especially with this team's draft history. Despite Hopkins' struggles this year (and I do think 95% of it is due to our POS QB), none of the other WRs on this team has shown me anything to think they can play at the level Hopkins can. Fix the QB (and OL) and you fix Hopkins.
With that being said, the only way I trade Hopkins is if there's a top franchise-altering QB in the draft or on someone's roster that I could use Hopkins as a bargaining chip for. Problem is, I don't see any QB's out there on a roster or on the horizon I would want do that with. At least not this year. I'd rather give up a #3 or something to NE for Garrapolo or to OAK for Cook and hope like hell you hit on something. But we know that won't happen because we're tied into Big Bird for another year and heaven forbid McNut look like he has egg on his face - even though he already does with the Big Bird signing. And in reality, is Garrapolo or Cook any better of an option or sure thing than just tossing Savage out there and seeing what the hell you have (for once!!!)?
God this franchise is so frustrating. It's like football purgatory.
