These are some of the craziest proposals. In a draft where there is no clear-cut #1, it does not make sense to be trading up within what is generally considered the first tier. Based on what I've read, it is not inconceivable that the "big four" could go in any order. Why would we agree to some of these crazy proposals to move within that group? (Imagine if we traded #4, Brodie and a second rounder to move to #1 and the player selected #4 ended up being better than the player selected at #1 - not totally inconceivable in this draft).
Perhaps if they are really sold on Ekblad and don't think he would be available at #4 I could see trading #4 and a mid-round pick for #1 or perhaps Brodie and a mid-round pick for #1, but certainly not a package of #4, Brodie and later picks.
