I do no want Sanders , his dad gonna be a thorn in who ever picks him side

Switching picks 20 and 9 would cost SP his 2026 1st. I would prefer having two first rounders next year.

According to this chart, Denver’s 1st, 2nd and a late round would be enough without them giving up next year’s first. Ideally I’d take the first but we need more picks.

If Abdul or Graham don’t miraculously slide down to us, trade back for another one, hopefully even two picks. We have lotsa holes and need more depth where we don’t

The root of the question is this: CAN we win now? If we can recruit the players we need, with the cap space that we have, can we win the division?

Whether a division winner can make it to the big game is only partially on them. Too many years in recent memory have been decided by the folks in stripes...

But looking realistically, given the weak division, and the guys that are projected to have an up year, the cap hell we're in annually... Can we win the division? If that's not a realistic projection, I say trade down trade down trade down till we're out of picks this year. Grab undrafted with chips on their shoulders. Guys who want to prove something. Take next year on the chin and cash in next year, when we have draft capital and salary cap space to make a legitimate run at it.

We absolutely can win the NFCS this yr, and that should be the 1st goal every yr.
To me our biggest issue last yr was not talent, no we did not have an abundance of talent but talent was there. Our biggest issues were a bad HC and defensive coaching staff and injuries.

DA was an abysmal motivator. Players were just going through the motions. That was evident when Rizzi took over and players played much harder for him.

We were hit early and hard by injuries and could never recover
We have a good chance to win the NFCS this yr if we restructure DC and a few of the younger guys we plan to keep. Resign some of our own FAs like Adebo and maybe Harris and Gay to cheap contracts. JJ may be up in the air. Fill some holes with mid level FAs like a DT, a OG maybe a safety.
Then have a good draft getting at least 2 maybe 3 starters. Preferably a big body pass catcher either an X WR or TE , a edge rusher

We have a HC that I think is light yrs ahead of DA along with a coaching staff that is shaping up to be quite good. So yes we can win the NFCS and that's where you start.

What we do this yr should determine what we do in 26, move on from Carr or find our QB of the future

To me there are only 3 players that are worthy of our #9 pick Carter, T-Mac and Graham. If they are not there , my 1st choice is to trade back to 13 and take Warren even if all we get is a 3rd. I'd also have no problem trading back with Dallas if they want Jeanty and taking Warren @ 12 and picking up a 3rd.
If those 2 options are not there and Denver wants Jeanty I'd trade back to 20 and get a 2nd and a 4th and take BPA @ Edge, DT, or maybe Loveland if he's there. I'd try and shoot for Tre Harris in the 2nd
