You've got to be kidding me Andy Reid!

Skeeter, draft picks are a form of NFL currency.  They have value regardless of how they are ultimately "spent".  How we use those draft picks is a completely separate endeavor.  Check it out:

Say you have a first generation Ipad.  Unfortunately, it took you FOREVER to figure out how to use, but once you did, you liked it and found it to be an effecient way to do things.  Then for Christmas you get the NEW Ipad 4.  It is better than your original Ipad in every respect (it is faster on Wifi and 3G and it doesn't have small hands).  Well, now the only time you will use your first Ipad is if something happens to the first one so it's your "backup" Ipad, so to speak.  Well, I don't have an Ipad, so your original Ipad is worth more to me than it is to you.  I offer you 50% of what you originally paid for the original Ipad, which is a phenomenol deal for a used piece of electronics.  You wouldn't judge the value of that deal based on how you eventually spend the money.  You might do something really stupid with that money or something really smart.  But that doesn't change the fact that you got a good deal from me for a limited piece of technology that was several years old.
