Re: Pryor to Raiders for 3rd
Originally posted by cocamideSeriously. Why wouldn't Al Davis give us a 2nd rounder for Evans? Was he asleep during the trade talks?
Raiders drafted players with fastest 40 times at the past 3 combines -- DeMarcus Van Dyke, Jacoby Ford, Darrius Heyward-Bey -- plus Pryor.
Or B: Because they have already traded their 2nd rounder to New England... They actually don't have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounder next year now...
For ther 2nd, 3rd and 4th-rd pick in 2012, Raiders now have QB Jason Campbell, QB Terrelle Pryor, RB Taiwan Jones and OL Joseph Barksdale.

First, as dumb as Al may be sometimes, there really is nobody out there who would give up a 2nd rounder for a player at his position who is over 30. Nobody.
Second, even though Evans is a proven commodity in this league (though how proven seems to be debatable), he is just that: Proven.
Pryor, for all the doom-and-gloom surrounding his chances as an NFL QB (doom and gloom I agree with) still has that magical "upside" thing going for him, and that always will raise Al's eyebrows. Lee's upside, while probably still there with a solid QB and Boldin across from him, is what it is.
Finally, I think it's questionable to assume the BIlls didn't try and get more for Evans. If it were a salary dump (which I don't think it was due to the relatively small amount of salary saved in the trade), then there is still no reason for the Bills not to maximize the value from that trade. It won't cost them that much more between a 3rd rounder or an earlier 4th rounder in terms of salary, so it's not like money decided they wanted a 4th rounder.
Sometimes, the market is what it is, as hard as it is for us to not want it to be.In-depth stats-based blog about the Bills and the NFL at Blog-a-Bills or follow us on Twitter @blogabills...

Re: Pryor to Raiders for 3rd
Originally posted by IckybalukyPlus, Oakland didn't have a 2nd or a 4th, so they had to take him in the 3rd or they wouldn't be able to pick again until the 5th.
Pryor would be gone in the 5th so it had to be the 3rd,
I Wonder If the move cost Trent Edwards a spot on the roster
