[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1012277, member: 7261"] The trade didn't "Free Up" or "Save" the Packers $11M (to spend on a CB). The Douglas trade saves the Packers about [B]$900K[/B] this season on the salary cap and another [B]$6.5M[/B] in savings on the 2024 cap, there is still a [B]$5.1M[/B] dead cap hit for Douglas, which represented money that was pushed out into 2024. So if you want to view it as "money banked to put towards his replacement", it is more like [B]$7.4M[/B]. While it is true that Gute and the Packers seem to have struggled finding quality players in the 3rd round, I attribute that to just weird bad luck. Moving up 47 spots (by current records) is pretty decent value. Especially, when it means getting the "88th best player" VS the "135th". A draft value trade chart that I looked at values the new pick at 150 points. Packers 5th is at 38.5 points, a difference of 111.5 points or the last pick in round 3. As some have alluded to, Gute may use that pick to move around. For instance, he could Package it with the 1st of 2 second round picks, to move back into the 1st. Right now the Packers have 8 draft picks and are being predicted to receive the following compensatory picks: [LIST] [*]4th (Allen Lazard) [*]6th (Jarran Reed) [*]6th (Dean Lowry) [/LIST] So 11 picks, with 6 of them most likely being high picks in their perspective round. He might even acquire more picks with trades before the draft. Gute should have a lot of ammo to move around and hopefully get some decent rookies. [/QUOTE]
