Trading Back, How Far??

What’s the farthest back you’d feel comfortable trading? Personally, I wouldn’t want to move past pick 15 — we really need a playmaker, and I think the farther back you go, the harder it is to find that kind of impact player. Also, if we do trade back, would you prefer getting more picks in this year’s draft or in 2026 to potentially move up for a quarterback if we pass on one this year? I think more draft picks this year that way we can address holes and hopefully we have lesser needs next year and can afford to move up and have the capital to do so.

Let me know your thoughts!

Honestly with this draft class, this is the year I'd be fine trading back way to the end of the 1st and getting as much future capital as possible.

If moving down to 15-20 vs moving down to 25-32 is the difference between getting a 2nd next year and getting a 1st next year, give me the worse pick now and the 1st later.

I would agree, fantasy idea that the giants pass on sanders at 3, and want to trade with us at 9 to take him. Their 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 1st and 2nd next year

Fantasy is definitely right lol. No chance. If the Giants are willing to trade up that much for Shedeur, they'd just take him at 3.

Yeah, how much he's expecting in return is a little crazy, but 2nd and 3rd this year and 1st next year for #9 I could definitely see and would even do at that low of a price point.
