We would have to accept being uncompetitive for that year as we absorbed the cap hit of the cuts and trades, but then you would have your money to rebuild in FA the following year. You just can't miss in FA or on a bunch of your early draft picks.
Trading down only really seems to work out if you get a boatload of picks, including multiple 1st's. How many times has this franchise been burned by trading down a few spots and a HoF type player at the same spot flies off the board right in front of us?
Maybe with an experienced head coach, but Taylor is idealistic at his first gig. He is going to try to make things work and that includes some of the coaching personnel. I think it will take an off season for reality to sink in before he starts making some real changes. I think Green is going to be a problem in the sense that Mike Brown will want to extend him. I think the days of showing aging vets loyalty should be over. Not sure Taylor can handle Brown or the front office in terms of disagreements with personnel. Not sure he ever will. But there will come a point where Taylor may now how to make things work to modernize this franchise to win and he will have to bump heads at the top to get things done. I say toward the end of next year and off season.
