Not to speak for Aqua, but the Fins did get a player they sorely needed in Satele. Now personally, I think I might have rather had Quinn, Satele and Welker rather than Beck, Satele and Ginn, but the trade was certainly reasonable for them.
For the Patriots, if you think of Welker as a draft pick, here's a basis for evaluation.
The Patriots spent pick #60 on a slot receiver, signing him to a 5-year, $18 million contract. The Colts spent pick #32 on a slot receiver, signing him to a 5-year, $7 million contract. The Pats spent twice as much money, but the Colts spent twice as valuable a draft pick.
Pats receiver so far: Averaging 7 catches a game for 75 yards; returned 17 punts for 10 yd average; returned 5 KOs for 26 yd average; 2 rushes for 16 yd average.
Colts receiver to date: Averaging 2 catches a game for 30 yards; no returns; no rushes.
Why didn't you mention Welker's 5 TD's?
