If you're getting into that range, you're not quite high enough to land Carter or Anderson unless one of them inexplicably falls.
It IS high enough to land Paris Johnson, Jr, though.
And if you're landing Paris Johnson, shoot... isn't the smart move to tag and trade Orlando Brown for what you can get this year?

I like playing with these scenarios as well, but sometimes I wonder why we're so cap conscious as fans. I want the most talented team possible, not the best financial situation for the owner. Of course I want long term cap success for our Chiefs, but with the way bonuses are structured now it feels like you can pay anyone you want if you're creative.
My point is... we just won the SB, we have the #1 roster in the league, why move key pieces of that team at all? Shouldn't we fans be pounding the table harder to keep our current roster in tact? Paris is a top rated LT in this draft, and here we are questioning if he's a sure thing. We already know C Jones and/or OBJ are league leading quality. You'd for certain have to give me more than a 1-to-1 trade for a cheaper league hopeful in order for me to want to move on from one of them. The Tyreek trade at least gave us multiple shots at replacing him.
We already have 11-12 picks in this draft, that's enough ammo for Veach to Veach without moving top line talent from our current championship roster.
