matt schaub is the only one who comes to mind.

Do you have that the wrong way around? Schaub was drafted 2nd round, and was traded for 2 2nd rounders. Kolb was drafted 2nd round and was traded for a bounty that included a 2nd rounder if I'm not mistaken. Shit even AJ Feeley was traded for a 2nd rounder.

All Cousins has to do is ride the bench for a few years, and play good in limited action, including a couple regular season starts, and someone might start believing the hype. That's how it happens.

You're right, that's my bad. Either way, Schaub was traded for 2 2nd rounders, so that's definitely a return on investment for the Falcons.
