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.

      Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.

      It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
