Much bigger difference than 1 slot. There's this stigma about being a 1st round pick but if it were me and I had some confidence in my ability, I'd rather get picked in the 1st few of round 2 than last few of round one. Getting that 2nd contract a year early more than makes up the difference and gives earlier freedom.
Yes it does if you perform.

They are now likely to move on from Dalvin Cook too. He either takes a big pay cut or gets waived. They have very little draft capital and are losing talent along with a bad cap situation.
I agree the Vikes are in trouble like the guys up north.

Lol he's about to sign with the saints bit didn't want Raiders getting anything in return and wanted to help saints salary cap situation by signing cheaper
Yeah, I think it's pretty funny after the way Josh and the team treated him after all the years of him keeping
them halfway relevant. I usually side with the team but not in this case.

A great example of a pick made for the coaching staff was Joe Montana.

3 QB's were drafted ahead of Montana, but Walsh wanted a smart QB that could go through progressions and an arm accurate enough to get the ball to the open man.

That worked out pretty well.

Edited to add, I don't know if the current Bears staff is is worth drafting for, IF they are then draft for them. IF they are not, fire them and start over.

The point is, get the staff you want, then draft for them.
I think we hope the staff is set but it's too early to tell and then if we are successful they will get stolen away for a
higher position somewhere else. The key is having an identity and system that goes beyond the current coaching staff.

If they do the Jimmy G as the gap QB and wanted to trade up to 1 and were willing to give up 3 1st rounders - I'd put them in my #1 slot as preferred trading partner.

McDaniels is objectively terrible and I'd love to bet that he's going to run that franchise into the ground.

Packers might get a haul for AR12 or something for Love. Vikings don’t have much cap space or draft capital.

Is there a team that will give up a haul in addition to paying him $60 mil though?
The Jets are rumored to be offering a lot. Packers will likely adjust the contract to help offset the contract

Getting the coaching staff involved in the draft is great, as long as you believe these guys are going to be around for a while.

Making picks specifically for coaches that will be gone in 2 seasons is not a great idea.

Drafting guys that don't fit the coach's scheme is worse

Brass tacks, if the GM and coach aren't collaborating, shit is not gon go well

They won’t get the 9th pick for Fields.
You: Fields is a journeyman QB
Also You: Panthers will give up the 9th overall pick for a journeyman QB! Lololol
When did I mention Panthers would give up 9th pick? Anyway, I'm projecting him to be a journeyman, Right now, I do believe there are QB needy teams who will overvalue him.
