I would definitely do the trade without a doubt. Maybe with our #8/9 pick Trent Richardson would fall to us. But yeah, as much as I love Stew, if for whatever you could get a first rounder for him, that is a no brainer.

Why on earth would you do that? Trade a lower 1st for a proven beast and take an unproven one in the top 10. 1st round RB's are so overvalued. Even Stew wasn't worth a 1st really.

Absolutely but my ? is when is the last time a RB was traded for a 1st round pick?

That is a great question I don't know the answer to that one, but if you are Denver and there is not a player you are crazy about at your pick ,and all draft picks are unproven anyone could be a bust it would make sense to trade for a young proven starter in this league at a position of need for your team.

i would keep who we have and build around the strengths that exist. (not saying that they should be the focal points, btw, just build everything else up to that level of talent).

I would agree with you except for one thing, we screwed up in who we gave the new contract to. I neither see them or want to see them give two monster contracts to RB in a league, and even our own O, leaning more to the pass. I would take a 1st in a heart beat. Then we could get Decastro with our pick and maybe Brockers will be there with the other 1st. But like I said RBs don't bring 1st rounders on the market. 2nd at best.

      Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that.

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
