Yes but do they have equal or greater value to the investment you already put into them?

Ryan Mallet was considered a good prospect with starting potential and NE drafted him in the 3rd. They had to trade him for a 7th before it was all said and done.

Matt Cassel had to start an entire season post a 11-5 record in NE and still needed to be packaged with Vrabel to return a 2nd rounder.

Grayson will hopefully be limited to only being able to showcase himself in the preseason. A team would have to be head over heels in love with him.

Which ironically has happened...although buyers remorse could prevent a similar deal from happening again any time soon.

Houston traded 2 2nd rounders and swapped 1sts for Matt Schuab. Vick was the QB going into the season..Dogs/Prison etc. Atlanta ends up with Matt Ryan and a bunch of picks they did well on and put together a team that would make a few playoff appearances.

Houston got franchise QB Matt Schuab.
