trading for #1

[terpfan]

what would a team have to give up to move up to the number one slot? specifically the redskins, if danny and steve decide they wanna go after charles rogers. just curious.

i think the base of compensation for a number one pick is:
the teams first and second round picks, plus an additional 1 or 2 picks depending on what rounds are negotiated for trade.

using the Washington/Rogers example
a myriad of factors are obviously at work:

what's the loss of talent from Rogers to the next available WR (Johnson, MIA). If it's relatively negligable, Washington may express that they are not willing to sacrifice as much to retain the #1 pick if they are willing to settle and secure Johnson.

Is washington willing to play poker with other teams looking to move up as well?

just a few things off the top of my head.

ok thanks aww thats about what i was lookin for... a 1 and 2 with a few lower picks seems like an ok deal for rogers...
