You are missing the fact that Ramsey was not hard to move. The return of 2 1st round picks proves that. You trade players for picks when the demand is low, IMO. Could of got a return of a player close in talent back. I would not trade a superstar for picks, I just think that’s flat out dumb.

How do you know he was not hard to move?  I certainly don't.  I don't know how you could.  That makes it an opinion rather than a fact.  How many times do you ever see any superstar player traded for equivalent player value?

He wasn’t hard to move, he netted 2 first rounders, does that suggest otherwise? Truly, you are right we don’t know. Not arguing with that. My gripe is the NFL has long been a player for pick trade style, and I’ve been long against it. The only teams this strategy works out for are ones with solid GMs. Patriots long known for trading players for picks, but they hit on the picks. We are a perennial top 10 draft pick team trading a superstar away because he is upset at a guy in charge who puts the clocks 15 mins ahead. Madness lol. 

So what’s that right move? IMO I think at the very least we could of gotten a probowl talent back. Instead we let the guy who picked Taven Bryan in the 20s make more selections. That’s what irks me. I just felt like we traded Ramsey for 2 Bryan’s. Let’s see what we do with the next pick with hopefully a solid GM. O line for TLAW would be a start.
