If someone can tie him up for a 5 year/30 million deal (or something ridiculous) based on the strength of their bargaining position because of that flush pool of wide receivers, it'd totally be worth a draft pick when you're trading it for an established, excellent receiver.
Didn't Jimmy Johnson come up with some sort of draft value scheme that everyone uses, as in what a draft pick's value is dollar-wise?
