It's one thing I still don't fully understand about the NFL.. I mean I haven't looked at the financials, which must be a driving force, but Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes just got dealt for a 5th round pick? C'mon..
All I can think about is financial limitations, but otherwise, why ever draft.. A lot of 5th round draft picks don't even play a down for the team that drafted them.. Why wouldn't everyone make deals like that? I don't get it.. Gotta be the cap.. That being said.. If I were a team that doesn't spend any money and sucks, like the Lions or Browns, I'd trade all my high draft picks for value.. Randy moss for I think a 2nd rounder, Boldin for like a 3rd rounder, Cutler was a 1st rounder, Holmes for a 5th.. Vince Wilfork was like a 3rd.. Like WTF.. Just trade all picks 1 through 7 and build an all-star team.. Teams that don't spend and can take on the contracts should do that.. Can anyone explain the reasoning behing shit like this? Other than financials?
