I agree, seems like a good deal given all the circumstances.
Maybe they think Mangold will be there at #37?
The reason you don't make the trade for Faine right now is that they want a 4th rounder as compensation. Our 4th rounder this year happens to be extremely valuable. This is a deep draft. I read the Kiper chat from a couple days ago and Kiper states that this is one of the deepest drafts in his memory. He stated clearly that there are high grade players that will fall into the early 4th round.
So, that's why you don't see a rush to trade our 4th for Faine. That 4th rounder is way to valuable right now. Why not wait til after the draft and then, if necessary, trade next years 4th rounder for Faine? Next years 4th rounder wont likely have the value that this years did.
