I was reading this Peter King Article and saw that the Broncos had offered up 2 1st rounders, a 2nd rounder and 2 -3rd rounders as well as Al Wilson, for the #2 pick in the draft. I had to re-read that again and say HUH?
I don't get this from 2 perspectives. Denver must have KNOWN that Wilson wasn't going to pass his physical, so why bother offering him? Also, the league would have voided the deal as soon as Wilson flunked the physical.
This just doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't Shanahan offer up someone else or another draft pick. Especially if you are offering up Wilson, who, when healthy, is your best LB.
Now, for the other HUH? And that was for Matt Millen. Here you are at a 24-72 record, you need an influx of talent, and you'd rather have one high pick that hurts you tremendously against the cap vs. 5 picks that, at best, would have about a 1/3 of the cap impact of the one high pick.
No wonder the Lions aren't moving up in the world.
