People were making fun of us for being the first team to ever make a move back for a future years pick and lose value on the draft pick value sheet (I can't imagine someone has tracked all of that, but I guess they do). We should have gotten a significantly better pick for moving back a year and throwing in a 7th rounder.

I couldn't give two squirts in an outhouse for what "people" think of some arbitrary value chart.  If you listened to the presser, it was obvious the move to get next year's pick was in the works before the trade for moving up to get the back they wanted.  On day three, who really cares if a guy is picked in the 5th or the 6th?
