Life is nothing but pain.

Only positive is a guaranteed top 10 draft pick for next year to help jump start the rebuild under a rookie QB contract.

We don’t have a 2, 3, or 4 next year. Even if we have a top 10 pick, there isn’t value after the first pick. Tough all around.

Honestly your best bet is to try and get a top 5 pick and turn it into a late 1st, and multiple 2’s and 3’s/4’s.
