Trading for extra picks option

I would absolutely be on board with a trade down. But it just seems so unlikely. We've always traded up except for one year.


I'll always say that if we draft a rookie with the expectation that they must contribute significantly right away, it's a mistake. Because our roster should be strong enough that they don't have to be good right away.

It's a thing you hope for. Would love, even...but rookies are always investments into the future first. If a draft player is only as good as they'll ever be in the first season, those players get called busts.

Which is why drafting a high upside prospect isn't a bad idea.

In other words, if our chances of winning a Super Bowl will hinge on a player who has never taken an NFL snap yet, then we were never going to win the Super Bowl.
Well, I was assuming that when he meant trading players for future picks, then it meant possibly trading AK41, Latt, Ram, WarDaddy, etc. Can’t see how trading away any of those players helps us to win this year. Maybe, I misinterpreted, but I did read trading players specifically or the option of trading down in the draft. Trade away players, there’s no guarantee that you fill that void with players (of the traded away player) of that caliber.
