In a world where the new rookie contract scale/CBA exists. Draft picks meant WAY less 20+ years ago than they do now. You guys need to stop using that as an example. This isn’t 2002 when teams hated first round picks because of their high cost, the 2011 rookie pay scale drastically changed draft pick value.

Chargers could maybe swing over their 1st if they’re that desperate, but I don’t think it’s a chance in hell Houston or Arizona give up their picks. They’re far behind talent-wise compared to the Chargers.
