"...No, no, no, no, you are ready to choose Eugene Monroe, right? After you trade the eighth pick, you are ready to choose this offensive tackle, right?" Keeney Smith still maintained a little clarity, as if he had seen through the intentions of the Green Bay Packers.

Lu Yiqi laughed in silence, "Mr. Smith, if you think so, then there is no need for us to continue wasting time. You can now choose Eugene Monroe with your eighth pick and take risks yourself. It's so simple. Why not let our conversation end here."

After saying that, Lu Yiqi paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with Thompson, and counted silently: one, two, and three.

Thompson said, "Geney, goodbye."

"Wait!" Keeni's voice was finally unable to suppress it, "Ted, are you really not going to choose Monroe? Is he not okay?"

"Gini, if we are going to choose the offensive front line, why do you think we don't exchange signings with Cincinnati? We all know that Cincinnati needs an offensive front line and we have to be ahead of them, otherwise, the players we like may be selected."

Thompson took the initiative again.

"I can only tell you that I believe in our coaches. We are not going to choose the offensive line. You can trust me. The key now is, are you interested in Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe? If you are interested, then you can choose directly, and we don't need to waste time."

“But if you are not interested…”

Thompson paused, dragging the tail tone, letting the tension and suspense spread, and then continued, "Then you can give us the eighth pick, we choose other players we like, and then you can have other picks, choose the players you like, while avoiding risks. This can make your first-year career resume look very eye-catching, and everyone will be curious about your movements next year."

"I don't know, Ted, I don't know." Gini was still very nervous.

But Lu Yiqi knew that they had taken the initiative.

Thompson went on to say, "Kini, I'm also nervous now because we can't be sure if our choice is right. The only thing I can do is trust our coaches and then, trust our intuition. What about you? Your intuition is sending a signal to tell you how to choose?"

silence.

A long silence.

Thompson resisted the urge to speak, but he also knew that if he missed such an opportunity, he might missed the opportunity to "grasp" the Jacksonville Jaguar. When he raised his head, Thompson could see Lu Yiqi's eyes, with encouragement and affirmation, so—

"Gini, give me the eighth pick, I'll give you our second round this year, and... the second round next year."

trade.

Lu Yiqi's eyes were encouraging Thompson to propose a deal directly and impress Gini with actual value. This is the key to breaking the balance. At this moment, it is the most perfect time.

"Ted, you're kidding me. Two second rounds to trade the eighth pick in the first round. Who do you think I am, an idiot?" Keeney began to swear irritably.

Thompson spread his hands and said, "I know, I want to give you the first round too, but I don't have it anymore, what else can I do?"

"I don't know, I don't care, Ted, you must give better conditions than you are now to impress me." Gini's words began to shake.

The Green Bay Packers' War Room was buzzing and commotion. Lu Yiqi waved his hand quickly, calming everyone down and giving Thompson a space to think—

This is Thompson's profession. Even Lu Yiqi needs to believe in Thompson. This is the strength of the team.

Thompson pondered for a moment, turned to look at the countdown clock. Now the Jacksonville Jaguars have eight minutes left, and he needs to hurry up, "plus the third round of the year afterward."

The Green Bay Packers' War Room took a breath - this also means that the second round of this year, the first two rounds next year, the second and third rounds of the year after, were gone, and the team almost gave up all the opportunities for the next three years. This... is so crazy.

But Lu Yiqi did not make a fuss this time, but stared at Thompson with trust.

Another silence.

"In four years, I want the second round of pickup for the next year." Gini spoke.

"No, impossible, Keeni, do you know that our coach's eyes can swallow me alive now? I can't make such a deal. Just now the final offer. If you accept it, I will convince our coach. If you don't accept it, you should choose Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe now."

But Thompson did not hang up the phone, but continued, "Kini, you should be a little more practical, you know, my offer is fair. I'm already working hard, and now it's your turn."

"…So, two second rounds and one third round?" Gini finally spoke again, "Coach Archie, do you really not choose Eugene Monroe?"

Lu Yiqi, who was sitting next to him, was full of question marks, but he still answered, "It must be sure and sure, Mr. Smith, I will not choose Eugene Monroe."

"…The deal was completed." Gini's voice came quickly.

yeah!

Whether it was the Jacksonville War Room on the other end of the phone or the Green Bay War Room on the phone section, they all cheered.

On the TV screen, Goodall is announcing that Jacksonville's signing has been traded to Green Bay Packers, and now Green Bay Packers are counting down.

In the bustling hustle and bustle, Green Bay Packers had no time to celebrate because Thompson then called the St. Louis Ram.

"Jesus Christ, Ted, I really need to thank you very much. Jacksonville is counting down now, and they still don't look like they will choose Jason Smith. Can you imagine it? You spent two first rounds and one second round but skipped all the offensive front lines, and now everyone is crazy."

On the other end of the phone, Dewani showed his confidence in his calmness and wisdom, and could vaguely feel his pride in spring.

Then Thompson sneered, "Billy, now we are counting down, we."

According to the draft rules, the transaction is conducted in the countdown stage. The countdown will not be cleared and recalculated, but will continue. That is to say, the Green Bay Packers now have less than seven minutes left, and they are still conducting the second transaction, ticking ticking...

"What?" Dewani's smile froze.

"Hey, Mr. Dewani, this is Archie. I just can't let the team miss the offensive front line, I can't do it." Lu Yiqi said with a smile at the phone.

Thompson went on, "Billy, you heard that we coach, I'm going to choose Smith Jr. unless you want Smith Jr. more than we do, if that's the case, let's make a deal now."

boom!
Chapter completed!
