Which team will end up making the 4th pick in the 2024 NFL draft?

[CardNots]

Why would you rule out Bowers? We could do something like the Patriots did with Gronk and Hernandez.

Which one goes to prison?

Minnesota’s GM laughs & hangs up the phone.

Agree. But what would the reaction be to just Justin Jefferson. I would move from 4 to 11 for JJ. I might ask for a future 2nd but it's not a deal breaker IMO. Vikings get a QB and could use the 23rd pick on a WR. Both are cheap so they can afford Darrisaw's new contract without issue.

I know folks think that Cards have all the leverage, it is only true if Giants want to trade with us. Can Giants provide more than Vikings. If not, then the leverage disappears as Vikings can trade with Chargers. Any other team (Broncos or Raiders) will just get us, at minimum a lower first round pick then what Vikings can give us.

Our leverage would come from the fact that we have MHJ staring us in the face if we don't trade down.

Not like it's trade down or bust for us.

...and that it appears that multiple teams have called asking for trades to our position, creating a bidding war.

Paralysis by analysis. We are in the perfect spot to grab the best player at our biggest need. We already have 6 picks in the top 100. I fear we are overthinking this. Minnesota will make the pick.

If you mean talking heads and fans by 'we,' you're right.

CARDS have the leverage because they have the asset (draft position #4) that others covet. They don't have to move.

The projected best position player in the draft is there for the picking. They have a second first-rounder at #27, and given the number of QBs that are likely to be selected in round one, pick #35 is a de facto first-round selection too. They have seven picks in the first 105.

CARDS don't lose by not moving, and I couldn't care less whether Minny then makes a deal with LAC.

I hate how this is such a foregone conclusion.

It only is to the people who are not fond about Monti.

Yep. I think it is clear that Monti will do what he feels is best for the team.

I mean, obviously. Compelling point here.

Things that are obvious, aren't always obvious to all people.

How many posters here do you think believe that Monti's actions are NOT driven by what he believes is best for the team? Who are they?

Keim totally thought the burner phones were what was best for the team, right?

That guy cared.

not if we want one of the top 3 WR. Should have clarified that our need for a WR drastically reduces the leverage. IF we dont need the top 3 WR, then we do have all the leverage and this board will go bonkers.

Except we had a huge need at Edge last year, and didn't select the best one in the draft either.

Big F'ing deal.

11 and 23 ain't getting it done.

agree. But 11, 23, and Jordan Addison??
I think I would take that deal. Then add a bigger wr later in the draft

Agreed. If it’s jj with an extension and a future 2nd that’s a win.

11th, 23rd, & a 2025 1st is way more realistic.
