I do NOT want to revisit any of the tired old arguments about Peters.
Instead, I was thinking about the picks we received in return. A late first-rounder, a fourth and a sixth next year.
I know that I, and a lot of other people, were upset that we didn't get Philly's 21st pick instead of the 28th pick.
So I was thinking...what if we had gotten the 21st pick, and no fourth-rounder? It sounded like Eric Wood was the guy they were targeting all along. Would they have picked him at 21 anyway? And if they did, then traded to get Levitre, they wouldn't have had a 3rd or 4th round pick, and there's almost no chance they could have gotten Shawn Nelson.
Of course, things probably would have turned out differently overall. And while I'd love to have gotten more value out of the trade, I'd say it turned out pretty decently for us, IF (I'm including this part for people like Op, HH, et al) Nelson and Wood are as good as their potential implies.
What do you guys think, looking back on the picks and what you were hoping we'd get in picks vs. what we got?
