Odds we use next year's #1 draft pick...

I think we'll use next year's first to move into the beginning of the 2nd this year, similar to what we did with Brown last year...

As it stands, we only have 5 picks... a 2, 3, 4, 6, and a 7...

I could see us using next year's first, and our 6th and 7th to get an early 2nd and a 5th this year...

This would leave us with a 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 setup, and I feel this would meet our needs better. We'd go for solid WR and DE picks in the 2nd, and BPA the rest of the way out...

A few months back.. I would say Hell no like most ppl. but now.. we could use more picks. and also in 2011, everyone may possibly be on the coach the whole season next year, so some fans and staff won't care too much about next year's draft IMO.

If I was Hurney I would so trade next year's 1st. Wow.. 3 years strait without a 1st round pick, lol. But if it happens, it will be with a team that has two 2nd round picks.

If I was a GM of any NFL team, giving up an impact player for this season for the chance of two impact players for the following season seems to make little sense with a possible lockout on the horizon. Remember, lockout is just not for the games but for training camp also. You want to spend all that money (including signing bonuses) on two first round picks just to watch them sit on their arse and not even practice and learn the NFL system?

Oh, and saying there will be no lockout because they will resolve it is shortsighted. Two years ago 99% of everybody was saying the exact same thing about an uncapped season.

Teams who have more than one second rounder:

Tampa Bay (3, 10)

Kansas City (4, 18)

New England (12, 14, 21)

I doubt we'd trade with a division foe, so that cuts out Tampa Bay... But I'd think both KC and NE would be interested in moving...

That said, I also think other teams without multiple picks would be willing to give theirs up in an uncapped year... Some cheap owners may be looking to stay away from paying second round contracts and might actually want to move down for that reason alone... Sure, it'd still take a good deal to get them to budge, but I suspect there will be a good amount of movement in this draft just because of a capless year...

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
