Re: What player would you trade 2 1st rounders for?
Thats why Russell Wilson has to perform miracles each week to win now. They hit on him in the draft but since then the first couple rounds blanch.
They're poor drafting has caught up to them and its going to take more miracles by Wilson with young talent lacking for help. Unrealistic long term strategy.
Guess they're admitting they stuck in the draft so 2 firsts was a easy decision. Plus the 3rd

Re: What player would you trade 2 1st rounders for?
1. Our team doesn’t need to be carried:
2. A QB that can carry a team on their back is worth a helluva lot more than (2) firsts: As stated earlier, I don’t think I’d take (4h 1sts for a Lamar, not sure there is a price for Mahomes but 6-7 firsts and more would be the start of conversations. Even Russel Wilson is worth 3-5 firsts at this point and he’s the wrong side of 30...
People do realize that Tunsil, Adams and Ramsey were all traded for (2) firsts in the past year-ish. Like it or not, that is the going rate at this point. Draft picks are once again dropping in value. Part of this is the 5th year option in the new CBA skyrocketing.

Re: What player would you trade 2 1st rounders for?
I think teams that dump 1st round picks like they are bottlecaps tend to be badly run bottomfeeders. Or, those with a mindset that they are "one player away...." That will never define the Ravens so long as the current leadership is in place. You need regular influxes of top talent at low prices to stay competitive over time. I'm willing to bet that LA is already regretting paying 2 for Ramsey, and that they will be dismantling that team soon.

Re: What player would you trade 2 1st rounders for?
It's not such a bad strategy. They've been one of the most successful teams of the last decade. A lot of that is down to finding Wilson but when you compare Seattle's last decade with Green Bay's they look pretty similar. Both were lucky enough to hit on a star QB (Wilson's better now but Rogers was the best earlier) and both were about equally successful, though Seattle came much closer to winning a second SB.
Until recently Green Bay treated draft picks like gold, as you advocate, whereas Seattle wasted early picks chasing their rigid physical templates. Neither plan worked out much better than the other.
The team that left them both in the dust were the most flexible and pragmatic, making picks or trading picks or doing whatever else it took to win.
Of course building through the draft is smart and teams that waste first round picks are consistently terrible but if you stick to that rule too rigidly you'll miss out on chances to improve your team. Turning down the chance to add Aaron Donald for two late firsts would be a victory for stubborness over sensible team building.

Only player worth trading two first round picks for would be the winner of a SB MVP. That’s a fair return on two picks.
