Flipping 24 for 33 and 94? That's pretty close on the value chart. I'm not sure on that one as both our 3rds (with the trade and our own at #97) would be very late in the round. Would love to get #67 from them but we'd have to give up #97 in that swap.

I was thinking if we gave up our 6th (or a pick next year) we should be able to get their 94 and 104, giving us three picks in 10 slots—94, 97 and 104.

Well damn...would hate seeing Jeanty in Chicago

This would put a real damper on draft day. I know not everyone believes in Jeanty, but I think they're nuts. He's the best college back I've ever looked at (with the caveat that I only look at backs when we need one). But he's a game changer. A Barry Sanders-like weapon. Just, please, anywhere but the North. Mother of God, can this division get any tougher?

Like I said a bit ago, Minnesota's A+ free agency is necessary to keep up with the rest of the NFCN. We need some starters and contributors from this upcoming Draft. I expect the Vikings to spend a bunch of money on UDFAs, which is being said to be one of the best pools available in years. Minnesota isn't stingy in that arena and I guarantee that is part of the plan.

Chicago will get incrementally better this year, 7 or 8 wins. They are building what could be a talented competitive team with a top-tier RB in Jeanty. I don't see Jeanty as a generational back, but a pretty damn good one.

Jerry Jones says that he's working on "two pretty substantive trades" that could happen before or after the draft.

I think he's generational. And I hope I'm wrong if he goes the Bears. The good news is they still have Caleb Williams.

Bears GM Poles earlier said that 'this Draft is going to be full of moves, trades and deals' (paraphrasing). Jerrah just said he's got potentially two deals in the works. Buckle up.

JFC - that would really suck balls..

Guys. Let’s step back from the ledge. We weathered Walter Payton and Barry Sanders just fine. I think we’ll survive Ashton Jeanty if it comes to that.
