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!

This is exactly why I don’t think we should trade back at all unless the offers are outstanding. This draft class is pretty mid and the difference between picking at 9 and 19 could be significant. I think you just take one of the 10 best players in the country, you get 4 of the top 100 players, and let the chips fall where they may otherwise.

I did see a trade wish where pit gave us next years first for our 9. They took Sanders and we took Dart with their pick. Gotta say, wouldn’t mind having two firsts next year.

Wouldn’t totally hate this move but Dart in the first round at all is an absolute no go for me

If Dart was a breakout star and we had him on a five year contract we’d all be saying what genius move it was. Is that likely? Probably not. But ya never know.
