Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

[Lotus]

What if Cinci and Oakland play in the divisional playoffs round in the next two years?

If Oakland wins, Oakland will go to the AFC title game, giving Cinci an extra #1 rather than #2 pick for Palmer. In losing, Cinci wins.

If Cinci wins the game, they will go to the AFC title game, thus making that extra pick a #2 rather than a #1. In winning, Cinci will lose on draft day.

So interesting.

About the trade:

On Tuesday, the Raiders traded either a pair of No. 1s (on the condition they make the AFC title game in either of the next two seasons) or a 1 and a 2 for Carson Palmer(notes)
