I think it’s safe to bet that we diverge from our recent trend of staying put, and instead will actually move up in this draft.

Don’t know what minority he qualifies as, but based on looks alone he is white guy enough to make the mike McDaniel Rooney rule compensation look reasonable.
After an internet search the NFL considers Teasley to be African American they also consider Mike McDaniel to be African American also

One of the recent articles about Teasley states that his father is Black... hence the Minority classification.

So with John Schneider's penchant for wheeling and dealing, and using Seahawks' 2026 draft as the basis:

4 picks -> 8 picks via trades = multiplier of 2

Using that same multiplier in the 2027 draft: 12 picks * 2 -> 24 picks via trades

HOLY MOLY, THAT MEANS WE'LL HAVE 24 PICKS IN 2027!


That’s enough capital to move up from 32

By all accounts this is the best draft class in years. The likely hood of having a lot of players stick is minimal. How do we deal with the excessive drat capital?

...sorry...a little off topic but...

Someone with access and knowledge re: draft value charts, I wonder what the "value" of the 12 picks are and how JS might juggle.

What and how many round 1 picks could he collect? What about collecting equal picks in each round? What are the longest gaps between picks? Those that are more knowledgeable about 27s draft class, would it make sense to trade up or back and why/where/for what positions...?

Having lots of picks is awesome. We seem to have some really smart draft people/members here and I'm really interested in their opinions given a new 3rd.
From a trade value perspective that projected compensatory 3rd round pick in 2027 would be worth about 100 Draft chart points. It's about the same value as the combined value of the 4 projected compensatory picks in 2027 for players lost in 2026 free agency. For more perspective the #32 overall pick used on RB Price was worth about 590 points. Extra picks are nice but no-one likes to lose quality staff to a competitor.

Acquiring another 1st round pick in next year's draft would consume a lot of our draft capitol, assuming that we will be picking last in each round (Seahawks in Super Bowl again).

With this new additional 3rd round pick I find it much more likely for JS to trade for Browns DE Myles Garrett. I'm not saying he is going to trade for him, but that is more probable with this new draft capital.

I think we could acquire Myles Garrett for our 1st, 3rd, 4th round picks in 2027 and our 1st round pick in 2028. That would still leave us with our 2nd round, 3rd round comp, four 5th round picks, 6th round pick, and two 7th round picks. We would still have enough picks to reload the roster and there should be some fun defensive players available for us to draft.

Using some of our draft capital to acquire Myles Garrett makes so much sense, and the price of four picks across '27 and '28 to get him would be awfully tempting for the Browns. Would it really require all that -- a couple other picks in addition to two firsts? Regardless, we might miss having the 1st round pick in 2028, so would need to be smart with the remaining 9 picks of 2027, and whatever we'll have in 2028, to prepare/compensate for that.

Back to the loss of Teasley - does anyone have any insight on who is promoted within to his role and fills that spot?

Picking a cultural integrator is hard. Guessing a replacement integrator as an outsider is difficult to impossible.

Following is a very limited sample of the experience and insight that has been lost with the exit of Teasley ......

Within his role, Teasley oversees football operations while working collaboratively with President of Football Operations/General Manager John Schneider in all aspects of player acquisition via the draft, free agency and trade proposals. Helping manage the development of the current roster with the club's Performance team, Teasley helps with the implementation of the use of data within the scouting process, and manages the ongoing communication between the scouting, research, and analytics departments. He continues to be involved in the club's draft process throughout and evaluate talent from NFL rosters and practice squads throughout the year.

Considering how far down in the pic list we are likely to be I could see, and welcome, leverageing some of our extra later round picks to move up in the order and/or acquiring more than one first rounder.

One thing I could see that no one is talking about is Teasley trading for Jalen Milroe next season especially if Kyler Murray kind of works out for them. Milroe seems like a bigger, stronger, more athletic version of Murray with less baggage and more football discipline. Milroe might not be the better passer yet but he still has a lot of room for growth.
