Davante Adams on the Trade Block
My best guess he'll end up in Washington

I simply do not understand why GMs are not willing to trade future draft picks for current stars like Davante, Tyreek, or Amari.

Their contracts have a lot to do with it

Because they think that they’ll hit on all of their draft picks… when in reality a draft pick is an unknown commodity that can just as likely result in a Skyy Less, rather than a Rashee Rice.

Not saying teams should follow the Rams lead of a few years ago when they mortgaged most of their draft capital for veteran players (although it did result in a Super Bowl win)… but the obsession with not trading draft picks for proven veteran players is irrational at times.

Big money plus picks.

You’re risking major cap space and draft capital for one guy.

Teams that are bad enough to have both have more needs to fill.

Yeah, it seems like most GMs (and fans for that matter) think that 1st rd draft pick is a guarantee for something, when it’s really nothing more than a lottery ticket.

It’s more than that. Rarely is it a 1 for 1 swap of a pick for a player. Usually a trade involves multiple picks, especially for a higher end player. Now throw in salary differences and it’s not a sustainable strategy. The keys to winning in this league are having an elite QB (hopefully on a rookie deal) and having a roster with solid cost controlled players. KCs last two SBs are proof of that.

Well, let's see. The Raiders traded for Adams, the Dolphins traded for Tyreek. The Bills traded for Diggs. The Cowboys traded for Cooper. I can't say that any of those trades made those teams better. The Bills still couldn't get past Mahomes in the playoffs, neither could the Dolphins. And the Raiders still couldn't even get to the playoffs. But the Chiefs have won back to back Superbowls without an elite wide receiver. I don't see why anyone would trade for a top wide receiver. There's no precedent to show that it puts a team over the top.
