Davante Adams on the Trade Block [Traded to the Jets]
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.

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. |

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. |

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.

O'Connell has something to do with that change.
The Raiders aren't developing him right even though he was the second best rookie QB last year behind Stroud. |

This just means they are getting garbage offers.... as they should for a 32 year old Wideout who makes a cap crushing fortune and is just okay anymore. |

I don't want to see him going to the Lions or Cowboys though. In a world where that happens those offenses would be hard to stop. |
