... Golden Tate OR Carlos Dunlap are still on the board. You have about 21 hours til the start of Day 2, do you offer the Rams or Lions next years first rounder to get Mr. Tate or Dunlap ahead of the Redskins. Consider that if either were avaliable this year and you had a first rounder you probably would have picked either up, or at least Tate. Of course, you could chose just to hold steady in round 2, but could you truly pass up two prospects that you probably would have picked up with your first round draft choice anyways?

As far as Tate goes, I think passing the Bucs @ 35 is more of a play than the Skins. If Tate's still available after that pick, then the logical tradeup spot for WR would be SD @ 40 or BUF @ 41, cause TB would most likely address WR @ 42 if they go DT @ 3 and DE @ 35. You'd also have to deal with the likelihood of NE addressing WR with one of their 2 picks in between 41-48, and Denver possibly going WR @ 45. If SD gets Cody and BUF has their eyes set on Thomas/Joseph, they might be receptive to grab an extra pick. SD could trade down as well if they took Cody at 28 and someone snatches Matthews before 40. Hardesty would probably be there @ 48.

If you wanted Dunlap, then you'd likely have to make the play to get up to 33/34.

Wouldn't trade the 1st. Who knows how valuable those picks will be under the new CBA. You could get a rookie first rounder in the new CBA for a fraction of what you could get a first rounder now. I have a feeling rookie picks are going to be EXTREMELY valuable in the future. Hold on to them and hope Tate falls. If he doesn't...like someone else said maybe Arrelious Benn or Mardy Gilyard will be there.

If we trade up, it'll be with the Chiefs at #36 and it will be for Tate, Dunlap, or Weatherspoon...

The Chiefs have the least to lose by sliding down, and would likely jump at the chance to add another first rounder next season...

The problem is that the Bucs are at #35, and could take anyone we are targeting... So don't look for that trade to happen until the Chiefs are on the clock...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
