The Pats deal gave us two picks, but cost us two picks, but did yield an add'l first round pick and improved our fourth round pick...

The Titans deal would've moved us up six spots and gave us one high third round pick...

The Eagles deal offered us a Safety we let walk and a third and fourth round pick...

One lesson I hope Payton/Loomis take for this is when you reach for a player with two picks...

A) You better make it count; with Cooks, they did; with Jon Jenkins, they whiffed; with Vonn Bell, David Onyemata, jury's still out.

B) Unless you keep the player under contract for their career, you never get back their full value to acquire them.

Well Well Well, it seems all this "the market sets the price" BS was untrue all along, the titans offered a higher pick and Payton gave them the middle finger and made the best team in the league even better.
