If someone wanted to offer a 2019 2nd round pick (even a late one) and a 2020 first round pick, I'd do it.

Lopsided draft day trades are not all that uncommon. For example, last year, just to move up from #27 to #14 (to draft Marcus Davenport), the Saints gave the Packers (in addition to the #27 pick) a 2019 first round pick and a Day 3 selection.

I think most teams really would prefer having an extra year with a QB, especially one who is going to sit for a year. The Gmen, in particular, got a lot of heat this year even as great as RB Barkley is. It's one thing for a team to rebuild.....and another for them not to have an obvious plan when it comes to QB.
This is going to get really interesting when the draft gets into the 20's. I can also see us moving up IF DT Simmons or Lawrence falls into the mid twenties.

The Giants are either going to trade for Rosen or draft a QB at 6 or 17
I think they are taking Haskins

Remember when the Rams were being discussed the way the cards are now? Remember when the Rams were major players on the first day?
Without the spectacular failures of the recent past, like Sam or Robinson, the draft is different for me now. I just want to see what Snead and McVay come up with this year. They’ve shown the ability to find players without having a first round pick, they put a system together that’s been very effective.

So enjoyable to no longer be in the douche contingent of top 10 pickers in the first round. We are number 31 and damn proud of it.

In a perfect world, we are able to move back about into the early-mid 2nd round and make bank in picks.
