I'd be fine with that if there's not a bona fide supa star sitting there.

I am kind of done with the whole trade down acquire more picks thing, it rarely ends with you getting a superstar player and honestly our team needs a superstar talent.

Especially if you are a team looking for a QB or an Offensive Tackle.

That's why the best scenario for this team would be to have a high top 10 pick, and be able to use any of the extra picks acquire through the Sweat/Young trade to move up and get the top OT or QB (if that's what the new GM wants).

Yeah, I'd rather trade up for Alt or Fashanu than trade down for more picks. We have tons of cap space and 5 picks in the 1st 3 round. Let's go hunt some studs.

Trading down five spots in 2022 netted us Jahan Dotson, Brian Robinson, Sam Howell, and Cole Turner.

Chase Young was supposed to be a superstar. He's not even on the team anymore. Nothing is guaranteed.

Nothing is guaranteed, but we are likely going to need to draft a franchise tackle or maybe a franchise QB, depending on what the new GM of this team wants to do. And you don't get either of those positions by trading down.

With the extra 2nd and 3rd round pick, you can potentially move up to get what you need, and still be able to draft in those rounds though.

If I was the owner I would nix a GM that wants another QB when you got Howell who is the real deal.

That would be a total Snyder move

Can I just register my frustration that we're already talking the draft before Thanksgiving? There, I said it.

Go draft BPsA (best player available) -- we have a lot of holes -- OL, LB, CB, S, DE, and TE (why is Cole Turner in the witness protection program?). And sign some decent FAs.

It's dumb to go after another QB when you got one, I'm sorry but I don't know what more people want to see from Howell. I remember the Chargers got rid of Brees, how did that turn out. Rivers was good, Brees was great!!

Definitely. If this team finishes 5-12, there's no way in hell a new GM is going to hitch their wagon to the QB that was hand picked by the outgoing coaching staff.
