In 2020, the Seahawks sent #59 and their 3rd (101) to the Jets for #48.
In 2019, the Saints sent #62, their 6th (202) and a 2020 2nd to the Dolphins for #48.
Basically, it's going to cost a 3rd or future 2nd.
And why would I look at this? Because that area seems to be when the last of a tier of pass rushers seem to go and I have a couple guys kind of pegged in that range right now that I feel would be good fits as that speed rusher opposite Karlaftis.
I'm also curious because of the what if scenario of going up and getting a tackle in the 1st. We've seen the move from the end of 1 to 20/21 cost a 3rd and 4th pretty consistently, which may be about as far as a guy like Jaelyn Duncan might fall.
Veach hasn't been ultra-aggressive the past couple of drafts and it's worked to build a core of guys at non-pillar positions. His lone feat of aggressiveness last year was to fill a pillar by going up and getting a CB.
I'm wondering if this is the year to really make some moves to try to go get a couple more. A future 2 and 4th to get up in 1 for a LT? A 3rd to get up in 2 for a DE?
It may be time.

Yeah. Draft stock on the T is just so all over the place.
Draft Huddle has Duncan in the top 20 (and has some guys I think we see in the top 15 in the 25-50 range, like Quentin Johnson). They also slot Broderick Jones at G and in the mid-20s. I've seen some that don't even have Duncan in the top 50. Just a weird year for T, but maybe that works to KC's favor.
