Iggy is gonna end up being one of the best players in this draft.

The only way Arizona accepts that is if you lose the top 10 protection.

When you want a Top 10 pick and the major return piece is a pick with Top 10 protection...

What's the point of having one of Guhle, Hutson, or Dickinson on the 3rd pair?

Hughes specifically said that they could trade their 1st pick if the BPA on their list is a LD. Why trading up for LD :P

If MTL get better each year, it is possible that they finish as the 8th worst team in 2025 and the 10th worst team in 2026. Basically, you could end up trading McKenna to draft a LD that you don't need.
