And that's the exact problem for teams on the receiving end of "blockbuster" trades: More often than not, the team that traded up is the bigger beneficiary due to talent.

No one ever mentions what the Giants gave up to acquire Eli Manning because they've won 2 Super Bowls. The Chargers received Rivers, Merriman and more and haven't won dick.

Washington's been in the playoffs twice and won the division last years: The Rams haven't had a winning season.

That's exactly why the Rams just traded up. They know they can't do dick with all of those picks.....so they figured they had a better chance of making the right call with just one.

Loom at this situations though. The talent the skins moved up for, flamed out and the Giants didn't win superbowls until they built a defensive line.

The Chargers haven't win a superbowl with rivers, but they've been pretty successful

That is a pretty rosy assessment of what's happened in DC since the RG3 trade.
