Part 8/12:
Perhaps most interesting is the potential for teams to trade picks. The Giants, with their glaring need for talent, especially on defense, might prefer to trade down from the first overall pick if they can still land an elite player in the third or fourth spot. This move would be attractive because it offers additional picks and roster depth, especially given the Giants' void of talent in some areas.
Conversely, teams like the Jets and Raiders could attempt to leapfrog others by sacrificing future picks or current assets to secure that top quarterback or player. The race is nuanced: it's not simply about the worst record but also about how teams value certain prospects and their willingness to rebuild through trades.
