Trade talks?

For comparison, on the trade chart....
-The 2025 16th pick of the 3rd round (80th overall) is valued at 190.
-Meanwhile even if we got the 33rd pick of the 3rd round (97th overall) as the highest possible comp pick in 2026, that's worth roughly 39 in 2025 value. (A pick a year later is generally valued at 1 round later than if it were now.)

So even a middle-of-the-road 3rd rounder in 2025 is worth nearly 5x as much as the best possible comp pick in 2026.

I agree with you, it's just that this is all stuff a GM who isn't the owner has to take into consideration. Most teams don't give a GM another 25+ years after a debacle of the Akili smith caliber. 

If our front office isn't again taking the phones off the hook and shining up their skis at the trade deadline, I'll eat my hat.
