Probably true and I think every team should have a president or senior advisor (Dorsey type) who insulates the team from these types of decisions.
Even so, doesn’t apply to the Titans. Carthon is in his first year. But sure, if he’s foolish enough to give up two firsts to go from 11 to 6 we should let him.
If we’re not really sold on our options at #6 this year, especially the QB options, what about an unusual trade like #6 for #41 this year plus their 1st round pick in 2024? An early pick for the QB lottery in 2024 is essential and that won’t be our own. We’d still have 5 picks in the top 81 next week and 5 picks in the first three rounds in 2024.
And as an aside: Do any GMs still use the JJ trade chart? Isn’t the Rich Hill trade chart what most, if not all,GMs use as a baseline of fairness?
Only reason would be a QB on the board at No. 6 that a team really wants and they perceive the need to move ahead of the Raiders, who no longer have Derek Carr.
That was considered a masssive win for the lions. An all time great trade. People claimed Millen was a genius for that 1 move.
That wasnt the norm… and yet somehow both teams lost the teade
We got williams and lehmen. The best part of roy williams was the trade compensation. He was decent here but always less than awesome. Teddy got the lisfranc before they knew how to fix it. Not his fault but he was an injury bust
If there’s a cluster of players expected to be at No. 11, who grade out about the same as those available at No. 6, Holmes could easily justify No. 6 for Nos. 11 & 41.
It’s plus 88 (the equivalent of No. 103 overall) on the Rich Hill trade chart.
It’s plus 140 (the equivalent of No. 90 overall) on the JJ trad chart.
It’s plus 903 (the equivalent of No. 76 overall) on the Spiegelberger chart.
Given the sudden need for a WR, having No. 41 overall (Jaylin Hyatt), plus the No. 11 overall, would be nice.
