I don't think it's any good for the 86ers. If the 86ers think they have a team that will at least compete for the division then maybe it's not as bad. But based on not resigning or getting players in early FA. The team should be in rebuild mode and the pick should be very early. It would make a lot more sense for the 86ers to just accept the rebuild and get some guys off the street to play this season. I would vote to overturn it unless the 86ers are adamant that this is still a good trade for them and want to convince us of why it's good for them.

It makes it so the only thing he's missing is DBs to have a very good team. Rodriguez is the only one with an expiring contract and the other three are should play at least two seasons and with no dead cap and a low price tag.

Yeah that's true they are just missing an entire secondary at this point. But personally when I look at a team that has been 7-9 the last 2 seasons and looses 27 players in the off-season. Almost all the top free agents were from the 86ers. They managed to sign nobody in early FA and have 2 DBs after the draft. Without the trade the team would be 34 players. I don't think adding 4 decent old guys is going to make a difference when it comes to competing for the division. Also a 3rd round pick would be more like normal compensation for those players instead of a 1st round pick. If the 86ers still think otherwise then I guess I wouldn't mind letting it go.
