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.
