Breaking Trade News: SB Dragons Acquire #6 Pick

The SB Dragons have made their intentions clear  they want Hank. In a bold move, they have traded their 7th pick and their Season 4 second-round pick to The Herd in exchange for the 6th overall pick in this year’s draft. This trade puts the Dragons in a much stronger position to grab Hank early in the second round if the Herd opts not to take him at #2. The move also signals that the Dragons are in full win-now mode, aiming to reload quickly and build a core that can contend immediately alongside John and Whittyquipo.

Implications for the League

• Titans stay on top: They hold the #1 pick, likely targeting franchise-changing talent Szepix to pair with John and Blizzard.

• Herd drops to #7 but gains future capital: This could allow them to make a big play for a star in Season 4 or grab value in a deeper draft.

• SB Dragons are all-in: By jumping up to #6, they guarantee themselves a shot at Hank unless the Herd takes him at #2.

• Beef Negative still owns the back end of the draft: They will be able to add depth or stash developmental players for future seasons.
