They have value. Both in the players they can be used to acquire directly and in the flexibility they provide in moving up and down the draft.
My main point of contention is and always has been what they're giving up for him, and what doors it closes.
Anyway, peace out. As someone said, arguing with a DC Lounge-denizen is pointless. Enjoy Ignore Land with Prison Bitch and CoMOChief. Fine company you find yourself in, sir!

Yes, of course second round picks have some value. Not as much value as a franchise QB though and that's clearly what Reid/Dorsey think they're getting here. I wish you the best in your retreat from the stress of conflict. Take care.
