If that's what it takes, that's a high but justifiable price. But's lets assume we stick to our guns and the price is closer to the Eli price.

2012 1st, 2012 3rd, 2012 4th, 2013 1st, 2013 3rd. Slightly higher than the original Eli deal but I adjusted for inflation. :-)

In that scenario, and knowing how Shanny deals, couldn't you envision Shanny trading down a couple of times in the 2nd to recoup the 3rd round pick (maybe both years) so our net roster 'loss' would just be the 2013 1st round pick?

In terms of 'all of the picks traded away' the true measure/cost is net players 'lost' so what's the number that people are comfortable with for RGIII?
