Harsh Criticism for Stallworth Trade

Wasn't everyone praising Denver for fleecing a 3rd round pick for Lelie? This team is not a Donte Stallworth away from contending. We had Donte for at best 16 games. He was NOT re-signing with us. He was walking at the end of the year for sure. A 4th that has a chance to become a 3rd and Mark Simoneau is pretty good value for him. Granted it will not do as much for the immediate future of this team, but you need to focus on what is more important. 16 games this year and zilch after that, or much less for the next 16 games with a possibility of even small contributions for 2 or more years at a couple of positions with the possibility of hitting a gem or using that 4th round pick to make a big trade up happen.
