Much more likely it is life after patrick but sure we can make it about jamo who the team just exercised the 5th year option for and stated we have had no discussion on trading
People freaking out about draft capital seem to forget how young and locked up our skill position players are……next years 3rds mean nothing for this year or next!
The answer is because he is the one trading up. No one does a fair trade up. If you want to move up, you have to pay a higher price to get the team to accept the move.
Don’t forget the fact that Brad had intel that other teams were lining up to take Gibbs, so he pulled the trigger at 12. Same story about Manu last year in that other teams also were intrigued by Manu’s measurables and Brad took him in the third round instead of waiting. I think it is very likely that Brad was aware that TeSlaa would never make it to 102.
