Our NFL editor @OrMoyal asked a super random question about NFL trades vs NBA trades and sent me down a whole rabbit hole. Turns out, I found some answers. Why don’t NFL teams use protected draft picks in trades? The explanation: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/5043…
Why NFL trades, unlike NBA ones, don't have protected picks

Why NFL trades, unlike NBA ones, don't have protected picks

It's common for NBA teams to protect picks they trade, but things are different in the NFL. Here's why.

Talked to a couple of teams re: Bengals' compensatory pick snafu. They have software that updates them on CFAs inre: playing time and transactions, so they can test how a hypothetical move would impact their picks Do the Bengals not have that? Or just an error in their system?

This tweet by @nickkorte was literally worth millions of dollars to the Bengals
Nick Korte (@nickkorte) profile pictureNick Korte@nickkorteNov 10
Arnold Ebiketie was signed as a compensatory free agent by the Eagles. The Bengals lost 3 CFAs and signed 2 (Cordell Volson not qualifying), thus while they gain a 2027 6th rounder, they lose a 2027 3rd round comp pick that was via Trey Hendrickson going to Baltimore.

Per ESPN Research: The Vikings are the first team to have 6+ wins and 3+ games without a TD over their first 8 games of a season since 1925. Both the Detroit Panthers and the Frankford Yellow Jackets matched that feat.

Bates is an elite talent in the Falcons' defense, but his real edge on the field might come from two tablets and five years of detailed notes.

I handle most of our trade grades on ESPN dot com and think it's crucial to evaluate deals at the time they happen. But we should also look back and see how past deals shook out! So ahead of this year's deadline, let's *re-grade* 8 deals from last year: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/5035…
