I don't know how much of this is true, but I jacked this from another board (a wizards board of all places):
"There is some good news out of all this. Apparently there's protections attached to the Duckett trade where the Skins would only swap first rounders if the difference b/w the picks is within what qualifies as being worth a high 3rd rounder. Since Denver looks like a Super Bowl contender and we look like one of the worst teams in the league, Denver will likely get stuck with our 3rd round pick as compensation." - Dat2U
I've been trying to find actual links with the specific formulas verifying this, but I've only been able to find words like "complicated formula", etc... and if this is true, I wonder what draft position differential constitutes a high 3rd rounder.
