Washington had 2 1sts on the table.
It was also well known that Denver wanted 2 1sts+ for Cutler, if those 3 teams were still calling up to the end to try to acquire Cutler, I'd bet that the Jets and Bucs also were willing to put 2 1sts on the table too.
This wasn't an Internet trade where fans massively overvalue their draft picks or think they can lowball a team because someone has to be traded. Denver told everyone what they wanted, and mulitple teams were willing to meet that price.
