Even as an advocate for trades I just see that, teams that trade away 3 years worth of first round picks, especially teams with new owners, don’t tend to do well. I don’t want to limit new owners from building their team the way they want. If an established owner came in and traded 3 firsts, I don’t think many owners would bat an eye. It’s also hard to distinguish which owners we know have an idea of what they’re doing and which ones don’t. It’s not a perfect fix by any means but I think that the 3 1st round pick trade rule isn’t a bad option.
Owner before I traded 3 firsts for arguably the best qb, Miguel Davis, and a whole lot of other picks as well. It took me 3 seasons to accumulate decent players to trade and load up on 1st rounders, even if they were low firsts. It was an uphill battle just to put together a half decent team without picks. I've seen other lower rated qbs play at an equal level for me and I've never had to give up those absurd amount of picks.
If I were to leave as of this moment, the team would be okay where it stands in terms of draft picks, maybe not team performance, but the draft picks are back where they should be. Should there be a safeguard? Yes. What kind of safeguard? Who knows yet.
