The Chargers are going to have to give up a comparable compensation. Using this dataset that the Chiefs moved from the 24th to the 10th, we can look at the trade chart and say a move from the #6th overall to the #1 is comparable. I would say the market bears an offer to Cincinnati of the Chargers 6th Overall pick in the 2020 draft, plus the Chargers 2020 3rd Round Pick, and the Chargers 2021 1st Round Pick.
QB draft talk … Not sure if in the end it will change anything, but there have been some interesting public statements by and about the top QB prospects for the 2020 draft. LSU’s Joe Burrow, the presumptive #1 pick at this year’s draft, for example, was quoted on the Dan Patrick radio program yesterday that he wanted “to go to a great organization that’s committed to winning Super Bowls.” While he didn’t name names, most observers took it as a not so subtle dig at Cincinnati, which holds the top pick and are expected to select the former LSU star. Burrow’s comments come just days after former Bengals’ QB Carson Palmer said that he left that organization because he didn’t feel they were committed to trying to win a championship. And it wasn’t lost on people that Burrow is currently training with Palmer’s brother Jordan in preparation for the draft. Of course, Burrow doesn’t have much leverage short of sitting out the year if he were to be selected by Cincinnati and genuinely didn’t want to play there, but it is something that could give the Bengals some pause as you’d really like the guy you choose to be the face of your organization to sort of want to be there.
This could become an issue with the Bengals and Joe Burrow and his agent.
