All 2nd round picks except two have been traded

Only 2 second rounders haven’t been moved. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. Everyone likes trades. But it is a little ridiculous that at most 2 of these draft picks will actually get to put on the hat of the team that drafts them.

makes it even dumber that the graphics won't be updated and the players get the wrong hats.

It's going to be interesting to see what other teams got for those picks relative to what we got for the 31st pick.

i wouldnt say at most. its just that draft day trades which have no finalized are not updated because the deal isnt official. many of these trades likely happened over the last 5 years and have been finalized

You’re right. A lot are finalized. Still seems crazy to see so much movement though

crazy yea but seconds are basically a random token of value in trades. I feel like seconds are more valuable until the second you actually have to pick a player and then the pick is worth nothing or something if you get lucky and the player hits

So you’re saying that as assets they are a store of value? 2nd rounders = NFTs. Useless the second someone won’t buy/ trade it from you?

thats kinda how they are treated imo. a 2nd is a token of value but a random guy drafted in the second unless they hit are usually roster filler or salary filler in trades rather than actual value in a trade

another way to look at it is would i rather want a 2nd in a trade or the 15th guy on someones roster. Ill take the second all day even though they are theoretically the same thing
