Seahawks offered two firsts and a player before the deadline last year. I feel like if the Seahawks really wanted him, they would've offered similar. Guess they didn't want him that badly before a draft they really don't like.

The Raiders had 10 draft picks in April's draft before the Crosby trade, 7 day three picks.
It's always fun to watch the Raiders piss away draft picks like raffle tickets on carnival games.

Raiders should have taken a 27 and 28th 1st round pick.. better draft class

I felt like the Bears or possibly Philly would get him. Glad he's staying in the AFC. We didn't have the trade ammunition to get him. But what we do have is plenty of cap space. That means we can get more quality ring-chasers, like DLaw. That's ok with me!

Good trade for Raiders, and they had already burned bridges with Crosby so it needed to get done. Now he gets to play for a real team, and the Raiders can move forward with their rebuild and no longer have to answer questions about trading him. It just needed to happen.

The Ravens just hired Mike Macdonald light. I'm sure that guy is licking his chops.

Our firsts are going to be pretty much equal to high seconds (or would it be low seconds lol) for the next few years. I was hoping for a miracle, but we never had a shot.

Seahawks were never ever going to have what it took to get Crosby. That said wow the Raiders got a good return.

From what I have heard the Crosby trade came down to 2 teams ( Ravens and Cowboys). The Cowboys were offering one 1st rd pick and one 2nd rd pick

2 1st rounders is a lot to give up in general. Crosby is almost 30 years old. We shall see.
This is how I feel. Especially since his knee seems to act up more as he gets older

What trades of this caliber have actually panned out this century? Just the ref-assisted Rams with Stafford and Ramsay and the Chiefs with Frank Clark?

Seems like you should only make this kind of trade if your team is already a contender and either has little to no holes or it has one hole and the big name is filling it. Don't think the Ravens are there yet.
