which trade do you prefer - 2025 first or 2 seconds?

trade charts vary but even on the conservative ones a top 10 draft pick is roughly equal to 2 second round picks.

if you were in trade talks for #3 or #4 where the return in consideration was either #47 + next years second or the 2025 first, which option are you taking?

here are the values from the otc fitzgerald chart which leans conservative (you will notice either of these offers is a big overpay by their methodology):



as you can see if we estimate using this year's slot (6th) pick #47 (1049) + #38 (1157) is roughly equal to pick #6 (2092). the more the first round pick slides down into the 10-20 range, the more it becomes the less valuable side of the deal.

if it were me id pick the 2025 first and figure you have a pretty good chance of taking a quality starter with 1 of the 2 seconds (and possibly get 1 of them this year). not impossible you get 2 good starters with the seconds, also not impossible you have another surprisingly decent season and the pick ends up 10 spots lower than this year. and wherever the first ends up, it matters less because you already have your QB, LT, + pass rushers.

im hoping the max they give up to go #6 to #3 or #4 is something like the 2025 first and slayton.
