Quote:Why in the world would you guys think Cecil Shorts is worth a 1st round pick?  Really??  Cecil Shorts III?

 

I think he's "worth" a 3rd rounder, but only in the case that your receiver core is just too stacked and you don't need him anymore.

 

We need Cecil.  He's worth more than just a 3rd for that reason.

 

If someone absolutely wants him, they will have to overpay for him, so maybe a 2nd round pick would do it for me.  

 

But I don't think you're gonna get far by trading away good, young players that have a future with your team.  Now, if Cecil is making it clear he doesn't want to resign with us (and we will lose him for sure), I would consider trading him.  But even then you may still benefit more from him playing 1 more year and then just getting a compensatory pick next year, because he will probably get some serious cash in FA.
