Yeah, Ballard almost has to go QB at 4.

But man, think of the position he COULD find himself in. This deal has to get done by mid-February, right?

So let's say Carr gets traded elsewhere and come draft time, the Seahawks trade up to 1 for Bryce Young, the Texans go with Stroud at 2. Now you've got Will Levis and Anthony Richardson on the board at 4 - who are BOTH going to take just long enough to perform to get you fired.

So if I'm Ballard and Feb 12 gets here and the Raiders call and offer Carr for a 2nd, I ask for a future 4th back in the deal, grit my teeth and pull the trigger. I guarantee the 2023 and 2024 salaries if necessary to get Carr to accept the deal and waive his NTC.

Then I take a small trade-back into the 8-10 range and draft Anthony Richardson to sit for a couple years because I think it will take him at least a full season and maybe 2 to become an NFL ready player. This may allow me to recover a good chunk of the capital I gave up to get Carr.

In 2025 I hope that Carr has played well enough to spin the trade roulette wheel again and maybe recover a little bit of the draft capital I gave up to get him. And in the meantime I can immediately win football games and I STILL have my really high ceiling potential QBOTF on the roster.
