In this draft class could be depending on the recipient.  

I don't care about class value. If anything that would make our pick more valuable because we are dropping down out of the running for best players. No, the Broncos offer is not enough for me.

I'm not so sure that's how teams are looking at it.  

If it's common knowledge we're landing similar talent value at the spot in the trade down, the offers could simply be light and underwhelming.  So the question comes - does Morgan want to trade down even if its not usual value gained? Or would he prefer to stay pat and pick who would be similar value as who you get in that trade down spot?

Context trade 12 to 6 (Cardinals/Lions) from 2023:

Lions trade 1-6 & 3-81 to the Cards for 1-12, 2-34, & 5-168. 

People need to get out of their mind we're automatically getting a 2nd and future 1st in a trade down.

Trading with the Broncos does not improve our second round position which is the main goal. Without a higher second pick the trade is pointless. Forget a future 1st as it will be at the bottom of the 1st round next year.

I'd say any 2025 capital gained helps.  We already have (2) 4ths and (3) 5ths.  So whether you gain a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th, you have more in the bank to package with 57 if we want to move up for a guy we want.  

And if you gain a high 2026 in the process, it's a solid move. 

Another context trade: Vikings/Lions interdivisional from 2022:

Lions sent 1-32, 2-24, & 3-66 to MIN for 1-12 & 2-46

20 spots with no future pick involved.  It was a round two swap and a 3rd added.

      It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

      XL about to turn the corner

      I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
