we will trade a 2011 2nd and 4th (and maybe another) for a 2010 2nd.

most likely, and I wouldn't have a problem with that, next year is going to be weak, and there is plenty of first round talent around in the second this year, which is why i doubt they will trade into the 1st this year.

The talent pool has little dropoff from the late 1st through the early 3rd so why give up so much to move into the 1st?

This. Or why trade next years picks to move up in the 2nd this year. And how does anybody know that next years draft is going to be weak? Crystal balls?

i would really like to see us trade next year's first for a 2nd and a 3rd. i'd take a 2nd and an early fourth, though.

if this year is really deep with a lot of first round talent dropping into later rounds why not get as many as we can get? especially if next years talent pool is going to be pretty poor comparatively?

get as many picks as we can get this year.

Next year's class is projected to be weak because a ton of underclassmen came out this year becuase of the impending lockout and rookie pay scale.

This year's draft is being projected as the deepest in nearly 20 years.

first, one of the reasons that this class is so good is that players that would have come out last year jumped the gun at their agents suggestion out of fear that there will be a lockout next year.

if there is a lockout next year (pretty likely at this point) there could be a lot of players deciding to stay for another year or put off entering the draft until the following year. why try to get drafted if you aren't going to get paid?

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
