The 3-way trade mentioned here before...

Something like...

Skins get #1 pick
Colts gets #2 pick and other picks
Rams get #6, picks, and Orakpo

Is that right? Wasn't that the idea?

I don't know how I missed this trade scenario because the only 3 way trade I have heard of and also read here is/was refering to the Skins, Rams, and Vikings. It didn't make sense to me and quite frankly although it was designed to sound plausible even this trade scenario involving the Skins, Rams, and Colts would not be good for the Colts. Their losing PM, they need a #1 QB top flight talent to build around and they would rather give it up and take the #2 pick?
