Pure and simple, if you're trying to buy Bradford from the Rams, it's going to cost you a Jay Cutler type package. Next year's first and probably third, as well as this year's fourth and the fourth overall pick. That's a lot different from Campbell and Carter, two players who don't have long term value to us. You're going from giving up about three marginal wins in players, 2 of which come from Campbell this season (projected...by me, sorry) to giving up multiple first round picks and future considerations. And you get...well, Sam Bradford.

Or, if the Rams were going to pass on him, you just take him at No. 4 for no additional cost.

i think you greatly greatly overexagerating if you think it will take:

skins 4th overall + 4th rounder + 2011 1st rounder + 3rd rounder just to move up 3 spots to no. 1.

do you seriously think it would take all that to move up 3 spots? thats seems absurd. (dikta doesnt count).

if they like him, we will draft him at 4. if they dont, we wont.
