Quote:What are your thoughts on trading back into the first round?


I'm wondering if we are at a stage now where two first rounders are more valuable to us than several mid-round depth-players.


So if the right player was there, would you do it? And what's the most you'd want to give up?

 

I think what you ought to do (notice I said "you" not "I")  is to take a list of top 100 players and use that as an unofficial slotting system, and then do our original picks, and then make the hypothetical trade and do the new picks.   Look at the players we could pick one way, and the players we could pick the other way.  Pick players that are within 5 or 6 slots of our picks, or drop down, to make it somewhat realistic. 

 

Like this:

Original picks:  Myles Jack, Noah Spence, Justin Burris

 

After Trade: Myles Jack, Shaq Lawson.  

 

So, instead of Noah Spence and Justin Burris, you would rather have just Shaq Lawson.  

 

This is just an example, based on an arbitrary top-100 list.   The point is, you are giving something up to get something.   What is it?
