Would you trade our #1 for next year's #1 and this year 2nd?

Also it would be a team with "two 2nd rounders" like Miami or Cincy. I havent check but Im thinking SF and Baltimore doesnt have two 2nd rds. I might be wrong.

I just used those teams as examples. The point is, I wouldn't trade 14 this year for say 60 this year and a likely 25+ next year.

And a potential partner would not necessarily need to have 2 seconds, they'd just have to be willing to part with the one they do have.

Yea, very true.

2012: Minnesota traded back up for Harrison Smith in the 1st by giving up their only 2nd round pick and a 4th to trade up to no.29.

Tampa who owned two 2nd rounders in 2012 also traded their one of their 2nd rd (no.36) and no.101 to NE for Doug Martin.

So, I can see both scenario happening.

Also, where we are drafting makes it tough because there are no guarantees in terms of who will be available. If a deal is struck it could be done with less than 2 minutes on the clock. There could be multiple offers and an enticing player on the board. A tough scenario for our new GM.I an in favor of acquiring assets. But we need to hit on ALL of them.

Hell yes! Next years draft is going to be LOADED! And who knows, maybe the team we trade with has a major injury (never would hope for it of course) and we land a top five pick? Then we'd have the option of drafting guys like Clowney, Nix (the Irish Chocolate for those not familiar with this name - IMO the most underrated player in CFB and was the best player on that Notre Dame defense), Lee, etc. <3333

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
