Madmike90 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I was really thinking about Cunningham following the media availability…I have a strong suspicion Poles moves a day two pick from next years draft to gain some more picks in this and the reason I am confident on it isn’t that we have a lot of picks next year already but that I think Poles plays the odds that if we are a winning team this season then Cunningham is a GM somewhere next and we get the 2x 3rds for him… Clearly a really smart important part of the front office…it’s good to get him locked down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see Poles going heavy this Draft on blue chip OL (@9 and using next year Draft capital to get a 2nd OL stUd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be at least one reason for assuring he's under contract but we can see that he and Poles have also made a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a 3rd in consecutive drafts (‘25 and ‘26 if Cunningham is hired elsewhere next year as GM), not two 3rds in the same draft, right? Either way, I love the thought process. I’m open to using next year’s high picks to jump up if a guy we love slides too. That includes trading our 2025 1st in the right scenario. I don’t want to move either of our 2025 2s if we move next year’s 1. The multiple 2s is the main reason why I’d be open to moving the 1. I think that CAR pick is gonna be a top 40 pick, and am optimistic that our own 1 will be in the 20s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s consecutive years afaik. curious what the right scenario to move up with next years 1 would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a few things. If we don’t go WR or DL at 9 and a guy slides. Could be for a top interior OL too. The most realistic way to make that happen would be for us to first trade down from 9 and add a 2 this year, then use that 2 and next year’s 1 to jump back up for a 3rd 1st rounder in the 29-32 range. Something like: 1-1 Williams Trade 9 to JAX for 17 and 48 - JAX takes Odunze 17 WR Brian Thomas Jr. Trade 48 and our 2025 1 to BAL for 30 30 DT Johnny Newton ****** We’d still have 75 and 122 this year and both 2s (and possibly multiple 3s) next year. Effectively, we’re just using next year’s 1 on Newton this year in this scenario, at the cost of the difference between Odunze and BTJ (which I don’t think is a huge one).
