The Athletic’s Alex Lewis joins Drew and Roth! The first half they wrestle with the rational idea that trading back for more picks is the best draft strategy. What percent crazy are you for wanting your team to trade up for the first draft picks or is it just human nature? In the second half, they apply that theory to practice by discussing what teams are going to trade up, trade back, or stay at the top of the 2024 draft. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.
