There is a 100% shot Brown won't be a starter in 5 years, while there's a chance the player we drafted will be. That's the tradeoff that has to be weighed.
This team made the Super Bowl last year. We are building for 2026, not 2031.
So should we trade every 2026 draft pick for veterans that are more likely to contribute this year?
I certainly don't think they're going to the SB again given the schedule. Picking 31 would mean they did.
That's what the Commanders would do.
Fair enough. I have no problem with that as well. I'll ask though coming off back to back 4 wins seasons and the 32nd ranked OL with the 31st ranked offense would anyone had seen them in the superbowl this past year?
If various teams offered great value for each of our draft picks, then absolutely we should.
Even if various teams offered great value for each pick, bypassing an entire draft for veterans in year 2 for Vrabel would be awful.
It is a ridiculously unrealistic notion that we are going to trade 10 draft picks for 10 players. Your hypothetical is nonsense.
No way I do that trade
It's a weird article because after they go on about how it will cost Philly an extra $30 mil in dead cap space by trading him before the 2026 draft, they go on to offer scenarios in which the trade takes place before the draft
It's valid depending on the draft picks used. The above proposed trade of a 1st, 4th and Boutte for Brown and a 6th would be terrible.
Me neither.
Yes, that would be too much. But I do not believe a first rounder is. Brown is the type of player you hope to get with first rounders, and we have the cap to absorb his hit.
End of statement. The rest is just what the haters were whining about all year long. Sad to see how you've joined them.
Pretty obscure place to be in order to pass it all off as a coincidence...
The Pats did indeed make the SB, but with a whole lot of luck along the way.
That's an insane trade. Cowden would get rightfully roasted for it.
You show me a team in the Super Bowl and I'll show you a team who had a lot of luck along the way.
That doesn't tell any of us a single thing except the fact that no good deal presented itself.
