I hadn't considered trading the 2nd 2nd for a later 2nd and 3rd. clearly, I'd prefer the second option but I question why the ravens would give up their only 3rd w/o gaining more then 10 spots. is that an accurate value/value proposition? eta: no its not. The trade would make more sense between Atlanta and Baltimore according to the link above

Ok. I guess thats a move I wouldn’t make. I would rather have both 2nds considering we have no 1st round picks, with the idea that the first 2nd rounder is my 1st (Im likely picking a pos of need for an athlete who fell out of the first who fits that need). Since we have multiple needs, there should be someone who fits that mold. The 2nd 2nd rounder would, in effect, be my 2nd rd talent pick - or if I got lucky another 1st rd level talent who fell. You’re stuck with 4-7’s after that, but they have 6 picks in those rounds. Id go quantity at that point If you stay in the 2nd you have to go BPA, regardless of position. The bulk of the value in the higher picks is the opportunity to take BPA, not guys you think can fill a certain need, like Adam Shaheen. Even so, it doesn’t make a ton of sense to draft yourself out of the best picks by trading away a 2nd. And if you desperately need a TE and there are 3 TEs sitting there when your pick comes up, any of which grade out around your pick (some better some worse), you’d rather draft a position you’re strong in who grades a tick better? I’m assuming that by the time the Bears picks come into play, the athletes who truly are better are off the board and the talent level is much closer across positions in the 2nd. Shaheen was a reach, and I’m certainly not advocating Pace do that.

Yea, if there's something getting them back in the first it's both 2nds. Would it be just the 2nds or 2nds +? I don’t know pick values too well.

Because they have a need at multiple positions, but limited picks, including only 3 in the top four rounds. So if you theoretically trade down from the 2nd into the 3rd and pick up a 4th and now instead of 3 picks in the first four rounds you have 4 picks in the first four rounds. Ok. I guess thats a move I wouldn’t make. I would rather have both 2nds considering we have no 1st round picks, with the idea that the first 2nd rounder is my 1st (Im likely picking a pos of need for an athlete who fell out of the first who fits that need). Since we have multiple needs, there should be someone who fits that mold. The 2nd 2nd rounder would, in effect, be my 2nd rd talent pick - or if I got lucky another 1st rd level talent who fell. You’re stuck with 4-7’s after that, but they have 6 picks in those rounds. Id go quantity at that point

2, 6, and 7 isn't getting a 1sr rounder, even a late one. If anything I could see Pace trading down with one of the seconds, but of course it will all depend how the board falls. If he trades up this year, its probably done with futur year assets, yet again. That doesnt make sense, if we cant trade up why trade even further down (leaving only 1 2nd rd pick)? You’re probably right about not getting back into the 1st rd, but maybe a team like Miami who has 3 1st rd picks could use depth players if they don’t see someone they like late in the 1st. Probably not since Miami is a team that needs all the talent they can get...but

What could we trade for a 3rd? Or better yet a 2, 6, and 7 for a 1st?

Ohhh goodie; another Indiana Mr Football

lol @ "Mets Daddy" as a twitter handle

I know he's been injured, but that seems like a steal

This is wonderful news and I couldn’t be happier for that cesspool -er- organization, the Houston Astros Well deserved! Bravo

So the union is just stupid then.

This is, quite honestly, a strangely impressive and wildly incorrect take of the state of the union. I wish you were right honestly

All I’m mocking is the idea that the union has any real control, or can truly be the driver in the conversation. They’ve been in decline for decades. The DH rewards the owners as much as it rewards any of the players with more offense, more fans at the stadium. I’m fairly certain that if the owners really hated the DH, they’d get rid of it regardless of what the union wanted. But i really like Davids pear lol-wut

Lol wut Lol wut? I dont think its the union thats holding on to the DH. I mean, look how much the union has given up already.

Lol wut

I wasn’t a big fan, but this really sucks.

Stop killing everything I love

How about The Cheating Astros

...how about out of 8-8 teams? probably dead center of all 8-8 teams, because that's what they were

So? horsefeathers GB

I’m not a believer in Jimmy G at QB. The 49ers are going to horsefeathers around and let Aaron Rodgers pull this game out of his ass, I’m afraid. It’s one of those games where you feel like even a 17-0 lead won’t kill the Pack if they get stops in the 2nd half and Rodgers gets hot. Yea, but 27-0? Lololol
