Since the trade deadline just passed. Would you guys trade two first rounders for a Myles Garrett or Von Miller?

As long as Hurney is the GM, I'm not trading any first rounders. The man is gold in the first round. The minimum is usually a Pro Bowler. There are only 2 players that he drafted in the 1st round that weren't in the Pro Bowl (Jeff Otah & Chris Gamble), and they weren't bad picks at all. Unlucky with Otah's health issues though.

2002 - Julius Peppers - Hall of Fame
2003 - Jordan Gross - 3x Pro Bowler
2004 - Chris Gamble - All Rookie team
2005 - Thomas Davis - 3x Pro Bowl
2006 - Deangelo Williams - Pro Bowl + All Pro
2007 - Jon Beason - 3x Pro Bowl + 2x All Pro + All Rookie Team
2008 - Jonathon Stewart - Pro Bowl
2008 - Jeff Otah - Injury plagued
2011 - Cam Newton - Potential Hall of Famer. Too many accolades to list
2012 - Luke Kuechly - Potential Hall of Famer. Too many accolades to list
2018 - D.J. Moore - Rookie... hoping he keeps the trend alive after his 2 previous first rounders.

Let's put the trade this way. If von Miller or Garrett were sitting ten picks away from our first round pick and we could trade up with a future first? You do that. 

 

I love the draft. I'm a fanatic. But draft picks have become almost over valued in the NFL. You trade picks for proven talent. You don't trade picks for reclamation or projection projects 

Overall I agree, but since the rookie wage scale has been implemented I think drsft picks have actually become more valuable. Honestly, top picks were almost a liability before the rookie wage scale. You were immediately going to be paying a kid who'd never played a snap of NFL football like a future HOFer. Missing on those picks crippled teams under the cap.
