With how much talent we need on this team and the amount of upgrades we need, getting additional picks in the early part of the draft helps this year (the extra 2nd) but then you are getting two of the top 32 guys in the next two drafts? That is a great value and helps restock a down roster.
It isn't like Sewell or Chase or Pitts is the missing link that takes us from 4 wins to playoffs. We are still going to be probably at best a .500 team next year. So, maybe 2022 is the season they make the jump and if you have two 1st rounders in the draft and the ability to trade the 2023 additional 1st rounder to move up... it absolutely is the smart move.
Completely agree with you. You have to make that trade.
This team is going to be lucky if they go 9-8 this year and that's only if everything goes well and they stay healthy.
Line up 2 extra picks for next season when the new coach comes in and can start building this roster correctly.
