I think it's moreso about teams being cheap and getting what they can for players they don't want to spend $$ on.
that aswell is a good point, but a low 5th round pick for a player who has single handily kept us from being 0-2. what would you think his draft value would now be today if we had to flip him? i found it funny that sproles out played Trich who was traded for a 1st (although i feel sorry for Trich, he never gets enough snaps on the field to get a rhythm and consistency)
