Quote:It's not just the money, they got a premium position player, a high first rd talent, for those two relatively low draft picks.

 

If someone would offer us a young quality pass rusher for a 4th and a 5th we would jump on that in a heart beat and be thanking our lucky stars. Unfortunately, deals like the ravens got don't happen very often.

 

I don't feel like I can offer anything new to this discussion so I'll just write this next bit and be done with it; for that Fourth and Fifth Round selection, they got eleven games out of a guy that at the time of the trade was playing at a middle of the pack level. Anything beyond those eleven games, and they have to pony up money just like every other team. For me, and the way that I view Draft Picks, I want more than eleven games for my return.
