Levis fell a lot further than most expected. going into the draft He was rated along with the other top three. If you look at where Penix and Nix were drafted this year and how Levis performed last year I think he would’ve been a better alternative. so I think he might have trade value to get into the top 10 or close to it.
We obviously aren’t going to be drafting somebody to replace Mahomes, so this isn’t a Rogers / love situation. But I think if you got somebody who fell a lot further than they were expected to like Levis and they benefitted from Andy and Pat for a year, they might be valuable trade material to get into the top 10 draft picks.
I obviously don’t know if this is true, but it would seem that when we could not trade down to draft somebody we wanted Veach just drafted FAU without exploring other alternatives. At a minimum in my opinion we should’ve at least traded down and got from Tennessee The draft picks that Arizona got when they provided the pick Tennessee used to draft Levi’s.
Maybe FAU will come through. I hope so. But he hasn’t shown signs of it so far even though there has been loss of opportunity.

It's nonsense, that's why. NONSENSE.
There's nothing even remotely close to a guarantee that you ever recoup anywhere near what you spent. It's a terrible investment idea.
I'm all for taking a mid round or late round project and coaching them up to flip them for a higher future pick, but spending a first? **** no. That's dumb.
