Several teams picking in the top 10 are open to trading down — the challenge has been finding teams willing to move up, per sources.

From what I’m hearing, there isn’t a strong push to trade up this year at the top, especially if it means giving up significant value that aligns with traditional trade charts.

As one source put it: “The current offers are 70 cents on the dollar.”
 
You will always have a GM that falls in love with a player and goes stupid getting him. You just need a couple of those for us to get something.

BUT this year is one that it will not happen as outside of the top few players the rest of the top ten would be barely top 15 or even top 20 most years.
 


Sounds about right. Jerry and Stevie trying to look smart for 70 cents on the dollar.

I guarantee our GM is in love with Travis Hunter. Ol Jerry would sell the ranch for that #2 pick if it wasn't for Stephen and Will

I will take 70% of short value to trade down and get an interior offensive lineman a.k.a. Booker for our power running game
 
I can't imagine it's any different for 12.
i've personally always thought the trade value chart was a bit overblown. people act too rigid w/ it when it should just be a guideline at best. does the deal make sense to you and for your team or not, that should be the litmus, not extracting every ounce of value based on one mans thoughts.
 
Can you even imagine in back to back years you get Caleb Williams and Ashton Jeanty and add Ben Johnson?!

Da’ Bears
And if Caleb Williams ends up being a bust, in a couple of years you don't have Williams or Johnson and are pushing the reset button again. It certainly looks like they might have taken one of the worst of the 1st round QBs from last year's draft. Maybe Johnson can work some magic and fix him. Maybe he's unfixable and heads down the Justin Fields spiral slide.

I think its more of a guideline for negotiations than anything rigid

That kid has succeeded at every stop he’s been in organized football. I wouldn’t bet against him. Especially with Johnson now. Look how good Goff has looked
