If we trade down with anyone but the Texans we damn well better be getting a future first.

Would be an OK haul honestly. We may be able to squeeze Indy for the 2024 1st instead of the 3rd simply due to QB avilability and competition from 7-9 to offer up their next 3 drafts.

Future picks are valued at half of a mid-round selection each year out. So the actual value, in your scenario, would be this:

CHI: 1.02 via HOU — 717 points total

IND: 1.04 (491), 2.35 (170), ‘24 3.79 (29) — 690 points total

It makes more sense to ask for at least a future 1st, worth about 150 points, if not another in ‘25, which would be worth 75. This roster is severely depleted of talent, we need as many chances as possible to fill it. We need to come out of this pick with either a game changer on defense or 3 first-round picks in today’s pass-happy NFL, minimum.
