NFC East-
Cowboys – N/A
New York Giants –
Total Gained:
2023 2nd
2023 3rd
2023 4th
Sean Murphy-Bunting 81 star dev CB 25 years old
Mike Edwards 78 star dev FS 26 years old
Total Lost:
2023 2nd
2023 3rd
2023 5th
Julian Love 77 star dev 24 years old
Xavier McKinney 81 star def FS 24 years old
Grade: B, Bunting was the most valuable player in any of these trades, and the picks are nearly negligible. The Giants secondary comes out slightly improved with the as well as turning a 5th to a 4th.
Washington Commanders –
Total Gained:
Jonnu Smith 77 star dev TE 27 years old
2023 5th round pick
Total lost:
Dyami Brown 72 star dev WR 22 years old
Grade: B-, Dyami is a talented young WR, but the Commanders have Jahan Dotson, Terry McLaurin, and Curtis Samuel. Smith will be the TE in Washington for 2-3 seasons and will prove to be a solid option in a Commanders offense with plenty of weapons.
Philadelphia Eagles
Total Gained:
Derrick Henry 98 X-Factor HB 28 years old
Total lost:
2023 1st round pick
2024 4th round pick
Quez Watkins 76 normal dev WR 24 years old
Avonte Maddox 80 star dev CB 26 years old
Grade: A-, If Wumbo can play offense by taking what the defense gives him this offense could be unstoppable. Elite OL, elite WR, elite HB, solid TE, there is no way to stop everyone. If Wumbo tries to feed Henry or tries to feed his WR, the offense will not be as effective as possible. The Eagles still have a 1st this year and did not give up any elite players since speed doesn’t matter as much anymore.
NFC North –
Detroit Lions N/A
Chicago Bears:
Total Gained:
2023 2nd round pick
2024 1st round pick
Total Lost:
Roquan Smith 91 star dev MLB 25 years old
Grade: You Decide. I am not going to grade my own trade, but instead I will explain my reasoning. This roster sucks, 1 LB was not going to change anything, I need multiple players. Roquan is asking for plenty of money and I would rather invest elsewhere.
Minnesota Vikings N/A
Green Bay Packers:
Total Gained:
Baker Mayfield 77 star dev QB
2023 3rd round pick
Total Lost:
2023 2nd round pick
Grade: C, I personally am not a fan of the Baker trade, Baker is a fine QB in madden but will need to be re-signed at the end of the season. The Love trade is fine if you felt like you need to get something for him. The Packers do not have much wiggle room so it will be interesting to see if Baker is still on the roster next season.
NFC South –
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Total Gained:
2023 2nd
2023 3rd
Total Lost:
Sean Murphy-Bunting 81 star dev CB 25 years old
Mike Edwards 78 star dev FS 26 years old
Grade:A-, The Bucs might not even notice a difference losing Bunting and Edwards, and get a chance to replace them, deepen the OL, grab more WR, or move up for Brady’s replacement in the upcoming draft.
Carolina Panthers:
Total Gained:
2023 2nd round pick
Total Lost:
Baker Mayfield 77 star dev QB
Grade: A+, JT is most likely going to draft his QB this offseason and to get a 2nd round pick for a QB that won’t be playing and needs to be resigned this offseason is great business.
New Orleans Saints:
Total Gained:
Van Jefferson 78 star dev WR 26 years old
2023 2nd round pick
Total Lost:
Michael Thomas 90 superstar dev WR 29 years old
Grade: B+, The Saints get much needed cap relief with a young WR and draft capital to reload, the Saints are not competing this year and need to bring in youth with the aging roster.
NFC West:
Los Angeles Rams:
Total Gained:
Michael Thomas 90 superstar dev WR 29 years old
Total Lost:
Van Jefferson 78 star dev WR 26 years old
2023 2nd round pick
Grade: B, The Rams add another weapon to their offense, but a receiver who is very similar to those they already have. Jefferson does not have much of a path to the field, and we already know how the Rams handle picks, so the cost was not too high.
Arizona Cardinals N/A
San Francisco 49ers
Total Gained:
2023 3rd round pick
2023 6th round pick
Orlando Brown 79 star dev C 26 years old
Total lost:
Jimmie Ward 87 star dev FS 31 years old
2023 2nd round pick
Grade: C-, The niners got a solid return for Ward, but in my opinion they paid way too much for Brown, who needs to be re-signed following this season. The 2nd round pick will likely be high, where the niners could get a similar player to Brown for much less.
Seattle Seahawks –
Total Gained:
Julian Love 77 star dev 24 years old
Total Lost:
2023 3rd round pick
2023 4th round pick
Grade: C+, Love is a solid safety who will pair with Jamal Adams in Seattle, and while a 3rd and 4th is not a high price to pay, for a rebuilding roster like Seattle, I would expect to see them hold on to picks and try to hit on the physical freaks that JT puts in the draft classes.
