If it's JUST three first rounders, that's actually a pretty decent deal because you're not giving up much present value: the equivalent of a 1, 2, and a 3, which would have been reasonable under the trade value chart.

But chances are we're probably throwing a 3 and a 5 as well, in which case, the Rams are probably keeping us in the position tonight.
