Don't trade away future 1st & 2nd round picks for players that all 31 teams have already passed on

Especially in 2013 because trade ups are usually reaches, and trade backs allows quality players to fall to you if you are not targeting one player or position. (run-on sentences were not prohibited, nor were parethetical afterthoughts)

because tampa trading back up to get doug martin after they got barron was a horrible bust.

My reply was more targeted at the first post but I only added you cause you called them mostly reaches. Chill out.

I think a general rule is not to act like a troll and then tell someone to chill out for reacting to the tension you caused. I was calm, just slowly shaking my head at your need to disprove that which you did not understand.

In general, a team moves up to address one particular need (or to get a particular player they fell in love with) before someone else with a similar need picks. That is reaching, most of the time. By trading down, however, a team is willing to drop and usually takes the best player available at several positions. These teams usually has several needs, but not necessarily. These teams have gotten better value, historically--not better players---better value.

Even with your example, the Bucs took Barron very high (considered by many to be a mid to low first rounder, but the market for S caused them to reach above other teams--the Panthers included--who might have taken a Safety). ,Martin had a good year, but their need at RB caused them to reach in the draft to get him--most sources had him low first round, early second. The fact that he had a good year does not mean that the Bucs did not reach--it meant they got lucky. Value in the 2012 draft is not based on performance in the 2012 season. So, your point reveals 2 reaches.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
