There's no RG3 in this draft so that's a pretty poor example, and if teams know you just want out of the spot they will start the bidding lower.

You're an idiot. But let's look at it this way... EVERYONE knows the 9ers would have preferred to get rid of Alex Smith. EVERYONE. They'd keep him rather than sell him low, but moving him was the goal.
The Chiefs offered a 3rd for him. This probably would have been MORE than enough to get him. Problem is, Buffalo came along and offered a 2nd. Next thing you know, we get raped and give up a 2nd and a future. We lose, bad.
Supply and demand.
Not demand and I think my shits worth more than it is. Demand sets the market.
