I would give up the 32nd pick for him right now.

2 of our starting O-Linemen were picked up midseason off waivers, another was an undrafted free agent.
Gordon had more yards last season than any Seattle WR has had in the last 4 years - as a rookie playing for the Browns.
Again, he got twice as many targets as Rice and barely surpassed him in overall yards. Gordon's catch rate according to Football Outsiders last year was 53%. Rice's was 62%; Tate was at 69%. We traded a #1 for Harvin because he's a dynamic and unique player in this league. He has value as a receiver, runner and returner. I think Gordon is a good player, but he's not a unique one.
2012 FO Adjusted WR rankings: Rice #14, Tate #19, Gordon #51.

If any of the 32 GMs in the NFL think he's worth a 2nd, then he'll be had for a 2nd. I think he's a good player, but I think people on this forum are overrating him. We'll see who the GMs of the league agree with.

Don't think so at all. They were trying to trade him over three weeks ago. Emailing 31 GMs is easier and more direct than leaking what you want to the media and waiting for the GMs you could have called or emailed to read it. When this came out within the articles themselves it was reported as old news, the headlines just made it seem current to attract more eyeballs.
