That’s crazy talk - if this were an option, of course we should do it. Herbert is a proven commodity and the draft has no sure bets (see, eg, RG3 and Chase Young, also picked at the 2 slot). There are many other examples. And we have a good cap position now too so we would make it work.

Having said that, I don’t imagine it would be an option. Harbaugh talking up his former QB is one thing. Trading Herbert for a draft pick is another.

I didn't say I wouldn't take the trade, just that I'd look for more value. It may be coaching/scheme/surrounding talent, but Herbert hasn't been elite level last 2 seasons. You're talking about swapping the 2nd pick in the draft, not a 2nd rounder. If (and yes its a mighty if) the Chargers came in with that offer off the bat, I'd be looking for something to sweeten the deal.

yeah, it would be a "no but keep talking" type conversation. Of course if we had Herbert, we could parlay the fourth pick Into Minnesota's 11th and 23 and still get the first or second tackle off the board.
