On this one, I purposely proposed a trade 3 times. First one to the Raiders, swap #9 for #13 for just a 4th rounder. Second one was to the Bengals, swap #13 for #18 for just a 4th rounder. Third one was with Cowboys, swap #18 for #24 for just a 4th rounder.
I know I’m giving those positions for dirt cheap. But there were no offers, so I made the offer and my goal was to move done either way. So I gave them away for cheap. Basically force a trade down and it was too good of a price to pay to the other teams to move up in the 1st round. But those 4th rounders will help me next year to move up if I have to. This also puts me in a position to maybe have another team propose a trade as I go down and offer something better. I’m creating opportunities.
I still got my 4 picks and I pick up 2025 picks. My first pick is a top 3 DE in this draft. Still got a steal. Even if he wasn’t on the board, I would have gone with Byron Murphy II. He is a top 2 DT in this draft.
Plenty of picks next year for O-Line next year or trades next year or later in this season.
This was me forcing trades to benefit from. If you want more picks this year, you can swap for 2024 picks instead of 2025 picks.
