Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

Ultimately, if Tua mania takes over, the skins are making it clear to the league that any team that wants to make sure they get him has to trade with us at 2, not Detroit at 3. And if Detroit loves Tua and wants to secure him, then they can’t just assume we’ll take young and sit at 3 to get him, as another team could have traded up with us for Tua.

Again, we would have to be absolutely certain that Detroit wouldn't take Young. If we swapped firsts and picked up a second and Detroit ran the card with Young's name on it up to the podium 2 seconds later, we would look awfully foolish. Not seeing it. If Miami offers us a king's ransom of a deal that we can't refuse, would Detroit's offer of a second rounder tip the scales in their favor over Miami? Again, not seeing it. As I said before, your scenario is remotely possible. It just isn't very likely.
