I figured the "primo" rookies will be gone by 1.11... oh sure, there'll still be some really good WRs, but we all know how many years it takes a WR (whose name isn't Moss or Boldin) to "come into their own" in the NFL. So I was basically giving up an "unknown" at 1.11 for a REALLY, REALLY GOOD TE in Shockey. I have 3 2nd round picks (2.09, 2.12, 2.15), so to lose the 3rd of those picks in order to make the Shockey trade, isn't that big of a deal for me.

Who knows... maybe Matt snags a "diamond stud in the rough" at 1.11... but no matter if Shockey's salary goes up in the last few years of his contract, he'll be worth it... and I think my Opihi will be a bit better off.
