I think Burt overpaid for DeAngelo, but not in the ripped off fashion. Just in the fashion that if that was the player he coveted, you have to pay a premium to pry them away from another team with no other incentive to move them.

I guess the fact that I don't like DeAngelo at all, and never have plays a part. I wouldn't have given up the 1st alone for him. My opinion on this deal is 100% biased by my low opinion of DeAngelo. I'll believe it when I see it from him.
Also, knowing that Frank had offered Plax and a 1st for Evans, and that Burt wouldn't budge, just tells me that he felt DeAngelo was worth 2 1sts and a 2nd... and I just don't see that.
Finally, I'll add that if I was attempting to win my division this year, and push in the playoffs, there is NO WAY I'd strengthen a division rivals starters. Frank wouldn't have been able to pay me a high enough price to hurt my starters and improve his.
Seeing as Burt has over 12k in 3 RFA's, anything but a division win and title push is a dissapointment IMO.
