1st, 2nd, and our 3rd back. Sounds great to me.

Or is more like our 1st for bly, 1st, and our 3rd.

And then send springs to another team for like a 3rd.

I'm telling you, as far as value is concerned, the Redskins should get Bly and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for the 6th overall pick without giving up anything else. The Redskins tend to undervalue their draft picks and give them up without receiving proper compensation, but check this out:

Here are some numbers from the Draft Value Chart that every NFL team uses.

- The Redskins 1st Rd pick (#6 overall) is worth 1600 pts

- The Broncos 1st Rd Pick (#21 overall) is worth 800 pts
- The Broncos 2nd Rd Pick (#56 overall) is worth 340 pts
- The Broncos 3rd Rd Pick (Traded from Washington) (#70 overall) is worth 240 pts

The total of the first three Bronco picks is 1380, which leaves 220 points (the value of the 74th - i.e. high 3rd round pick) left to make up. I think you could definitely say Dre Bly is worth a third round pick (but no more than a third round pick) so that would be a very fair trade to all parties involved. If the Broncos covet the 6th overall pick than I think the Skins should make the deal, but the should take NO LESS than the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Bly in the deal.
