Not really a bad trade from the Raiders side especially if Gruden doesn't think they will compete for the next couple of years.
Essentially Raiders wanted 2 1st round picks. They weren't going to get that evidently so they got creative and got 2 1st round picks by then swapping their 2nd for our 3rd and potentially their 5th for our 6th.
So in essence they got a bit less than 2 1st round picks outright as they had to swap rounds with the Bears to make giving up the 1st round picks more palatable.
This is similar to what I proposed yesterday in that long thread.
I cant believe I was against this originally. So stoked!
