We traded for T.J. Duckett?

So Betts has to be traded. Two picks for a guy we didn't need all that much? I mean there is a need for him but not a huge one. We should have been dealing from a position of leverage. Duckett wanted out and Lelie wanted out. We held the cards really. There has to be a greater plan here because we simply didn't need him so much. Sellers can handle the banging and Betts is an adequate backup. I am certainly not convinced that Duckett brings that much more to the table other than he has alittle more wiggle and overall ability than Sellers and is tougher than Betts. Seems like a huge price to pay for a minor upgrade.

I gotta think Betts gets traded. Too bad the Jets already made a trade. Love to know what they gave up for Barlow. I would think Betts would garner a slightly better deal.

Who else needs a back?
