I've never understood devaluing future picks. Only time it comes into play is if your job is on the line and if you aren't acquiring capital early you are probably losing your job anyway.
Because results matter and GMs don’t have an unlimited timeframe to put together a team capable of winning games.

If you’ve just been hired or are already a perennial playoff team, then sure.

If the Vikings really want JJ, then either the Cardinals or the Chargers are gonna get 11, 23, and a 2025 First.

The other team gets MHJ.

Good spot to be in

Brugler's seven round mock draft came out, it has the Vikings trading up with the Cardinals to get JJ, then the Cardinals trading up with the Chargers to get MHJ. Chargers end up with 11 and 35, which they use to get JC Latham and Kris Jenkins.

Not totally sure about all that, partially because I'm not a massive fan of either of those players. Defying the logic in the article I posted and we've been discussing, I think I'd rather have Joe Alt or Nabers/Odunze. But, it's definitely a logical scenario and does fit Harbaugh pretty well.

Yeah the key phrase there is 'if your job is on the line' but in reality a GM's job is ALWAYS on the line. Except in very specific situations, with GMs who have proven themselves beyond a doubt. Or just been hired, I suppose, like you say.

I've got to say that it doesn't SEEM like trading down a ton has worked recently for the teams that do it. But I could be wrong about that.

Dexo posted:

So the thing about trading back is I think there are enough teams that are in the teens that need some combination of wide receiver quarterback or offensive tackle where I don't think finding a trade back partner is going to be hard especially in this draft.

Trading back should be reasonably easy to do in the first half of the first round, I think it's after that where it gets tricky. It'll just be situational, if a player drops and a team really likes them, or wants to keep them away from a divisional opponent.

I just don't see a tackle in the first round. We have an all pro LT and Pipkins at RT just signed a new contract and wasn't the problem last year. Both guards struggled, but one was a first round pick two years ago and the other has a whole bunch of talent at RG. We really need a Center more than anything.

We just traded away Keenan and let Mike Williams walk. The WR room right now is Josh Palmer, Quinton Johnston, and Darius Davis. WR has to be the pick at 5.

Poles has been building by trading down in the middle rounds to cover depth. Even though they have 4 picks this year, they have had a lot of picks over the last three years. It is playing the middle rounds that builds up a roster. And they did this with zero comp picks. Rosters are built through the middle rounds imo

Poles has also traded up to get guys he liked.


Poles strikes me as someone who sticks to his board, and will trade up if he can because he thinks one of the players in a certain tier aren't going to be there, their next pick, but will also trade back if he has like 20 players he's willing to take and would be happy with any of them etc.

Like if he wants a WR, I don't think a trade up is out of the question to make sure he gets one, burning one of the future seconds he has next year. Or more likely I think he burns future capital to try and get into the second round this year. If he can't or doesn't want to trade back and do it.

The national media seems to REALLY think Jim Harbaugh doesn't care about black people wide receivers and it's a lock that they trade back and/or pick OL. I agree though I dunno how you look at Justin Herbert + this roster and think anything but "OH GOD GET ME ONE OF THOSE TOP 3 RECEIVERS".

In reality the obvious pick at 5 is Blake Corum (not really (but just imagine lol))

100%. That is the right way to do it. You maximize value by trading to the bottom of tiers and use that extra draft capital to go get your guys. It prevents you from mortgaging your future while still having the ability to strategically target guys you want.

I don't really get it either. People in these streets acting like Slater ain't a stud at LT. I think the 5th pick is MHJ or trading down for extra captial.

I like when the consensus is opposed, given how so much of the media shows so little deviation. You can tell they be copying each others' work

It's been really funny to me doing the goon draft and reading scouting reports and being like "why is this guy ranked so low." Like when I was looking at TJ Tampa every big board has him in like the 50s and then every mock draft has him going late first/early second including ahead of other CBs ranked ahead of him.

I'm really hoping one of JPJ/Barton falls to Tampa because that would fill a big need. Feiler was indeed washed up we found out last year.

Is Harbaugh actually in charge of the draft? 50/50 with Joe Hortiz? Or all Joe? I wonder how they've got that set up.

I agree that going receiver is the only thing that truly makes sense, to me. But teams often do things that don't make sense to me.

I assume they're collaborating. Harbaugh probably has significant influence considering he recruited a lot of these kids.

It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."
Kaep averaged just a shade under 30 pass attempts per game in Harbaugh's last NFL season and that was with a QB who's best skillset was running.



They're absolutely going to be a ball control offense but I imagine Herbie's still taking plenty of shots this season, he'll just likely get hit significantly less frequently bc they won't constantly make him do everything while also giving him a mediocre o-line
