I'm not saying that this is a bad trade, it's not. But this isn't some slam-dunk rape job, either. Drew Brees, Kris Jenkins, Chad Johnson, Matt Forte, DeMeco Ryans, Rashean Mathis, Karlos Dansby, Michael Roos, and Thomas Howard are all high second round picks from just the last decade. There is a lot of value with that pick.

Yeah, but it's not like we traded the pick for Pat Surtain. We got two starters out of that one pick. For a team that's trying to rebuild, I don't think that's a bad deal. All of the players you listed are good picks, and there will be good players there this year. But I don't understand the logic that acts like the pick just vanished. It didn't, we got two starters out of it. Which is more than we were going to get out of a single pick.
But that's said with the idea that by the time training camp rolls around, this roster is probably going to be turned over quite a bit. It's not like we just urinated it away for John Welbourne or something.
