How many additional points do we get for upgrading 6 picks, and also downgrading a third to a fourth like was suggested? Barely enough to justify helping a hated rival. And like Snake mentioned, we can dip into 2019's haul to make up the rest. In fact, given the supposed strength of next year's draft, I hope we end bottom 2 so we can get an elite draftee in before then paying for father-sons and academy players.
Also by trading in 2018 selections we are in fact weakening our 2017 on-field position thus are more likely to finish lower which is what you are hoping for.
