I dont know about you all, but why would anyone in their right mind that have as many holes on the raiders make this trade?  They basically let Burgess get away for a bag of peanuts, and then trade for a player who is definitely not worth a 1st round pick, to fill the same hole left by Burgess' departure?  Am i missing something here?  Well, just another case of the rich getting richer in my eyes.  At least he will be out of our division, but on both ends it is a questionable move.  What do you all think?
