Based on Mike Brown's lax attitude towards the 2019 trade deadline I'm convinced he turned down the 27 picks for Akili Smith not because he wanted Smith, but because he didn't want to have to go through the trouble of dealing with all the picks he'd get for him.
More picks = more work
We might be screwed if we want to trade down this year. Out of the worst 6 teams this year, only the Bengals and Dolphins seem to have an opening at QB. Maybe we get lucky and Dolphins want a certain QB no matter what. Or else:
Today #3 Redskins have Haskins waiting and a big hole at LT so Thomas seems to be their pick.
4. Falcons have Ryan at QB
5. Jets have Darnold. Maybe they admit a mistake? That would cost a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick.
6. Giants have Jones
7. Broncos have a QB need, unless they feel Lock will be healthy and get it next year. What's the price to move up from 7 to 1? 1st round 2020 and 2021 at a minimum. Or 1st round, 2nd round, and all 3 of their 3rd round picks.
Would be nice, and Elway is always looking for that franchise QB, but don't see it happening.
