Let's assume TD trades PP and gets a 1st round pick in return. Does anybody realize that in essence he traded Price for Bledsoe and moved down 9 spots in the draft (assuming the trade was with Atlanta). Even though he got the services of both for one season together, he probably ending up spending $2 million more against the cap then if he simply would have kept Price and not acquired Bledsoe?
What do you think of that??

wow, i'm still trying to understand this post...
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
I'll be gnawing on that for a long, long time.
I thought of that too. Yup, I would. I know someone who wouldn't. He's got something to do with chicken and the chicken isn't shiny.
Ummm....yeah....I agree with Eb.... I think
I can't wait for Ublink to gnaw on this......
Sounds like a good trade for me. Fast WRs are a lot easier to find than solid QBs.
I would trade for Bledsoe even up in a yankee minute. What was their to ponder.

Gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw

Hey hey hey
Goodbye!
well I hope it's not to Atlanta cause I personnaly would like a top 10 pick.
lets go BUFFALO lets go BUFFALO
Well, Price was going to be gone anyways...So we basically got Bledsoe for moving down 9 spots...What a steal!
That's an interesting way of looking at it, and if the trade to Atlanta (I'm holding out the Skins want in and give the Bills the 13th overall pick) happens, it will have been an incredible move on TD's part to get a Pro Bowl QB simply by trading down (in essence) 9 spots! However beyond that, you have to realize that Bledsoe made Price as hot a commodity as he is by getting him the ball last year with his passing prowess, so it's not like the Bills would have gotten as good value for Price this year had the Bledsoe trade never happened, i.e. it AVP were the QB last year. Gnaw on THAT for awhile!
I don’t agree with your logic and here’s why
Well as trades go...
First thing you have to understand is that in the NFL trading for draft picks in "other" years, there is a predetermined series to judge its worth...
For example a 1st round pick from next year is worth a 2nd round pick this year. A 2nd round pick from next year is worth a 3rd round pick from this year... and so forth.
When we acquired Bledsoe, we traded a 1st round pick from the NEXT season, which in the NFL math, is the equivalent of a 2nd round pick from that year...
So Bledsoe, in 'evened up' NFL currency, was actually traded for a 2nd round pick...
So what you should be asking is: would you trade Peerless and a 2nd rounder for Bledsoe and a 1st, this year? Because that is the trade in question when you consider the 'time index' in question.
Furthermore you have to consider if Price could have be worth a 1st round pick this year without Bledsoe?

I was ready to respond to the original thread cause I thought I had digested it, THAAAAAAAN this one came along.

Ingtar got it right on the head. And my answer is YES IN A HEARTBEAT.
Remember, Price was NOTHING before Bledsoe came along. He's good, but not that good. He'll begin to fade once he leaves Buffalo, and I'm not cursing him out because I'm angry at him or anything.
don't forget Bledsoe made Brisby and Timpson look like an all pro WRs
