Total career value of Moss

[natty]

I was talking with a coworker about Moss and got to thinking about how many draft picks Moss has been worth his entire career. I don't think there's any other player that has 'consumed'(for lack of a better term) as many draft picks.

All this was from his wikipedia page so it might no be 100%

Was drafted in the 1st

Traded to Oakland for a 1st, multiple 7th's(???? wiki just says seventh-round picks) and a LB was was a 1st round pick

Traded to NE for a 4th

Traded to Minn for a 3rd

So that's 3 1st's, a 3rd, a 4th and (multiple?) 7th. Can any other player top that?

Is any player as talented as Moss?

Yes, just not that the WR position.

If Rodgers or Rivers was to offered up on the trade block for those picks, I promise that deal would happen before breakfast.

Brady, Brees, and Manning 1 would get close, but are a bit long in the tooth to get that many 1's.

you're counting both purchases and sales as worth. That would be like me selling you a car for $20,000, then you selling it to saltman after a year for $16,000, then saltman selling it after a year to jangler for $12,000 and saying the car is worth $48,000.

You know what else changed hands a lot? Mortgage-backed securities.

Herschel Walker maybe? The Cowboys used a 5th to get him, plus the USFL team that got him used a draft pick. Then the Cowboys traded him and got seven picks at once plus 5 players, which they used to acquire other picks. That included 3 first round picks. Then other teams got Walker, but I am not sure if they gave up draft picks to do it.

I remember reading somewhere when Dallas finally finished using the picks they got from trading Herschel to the vikes, all told it was like 27 picks/players.

No wonder Dallas went on a roll for the next few years after that trade.

this was my pick........yes, you can thank the vikings for the cowpukes success in the 90's. Jurrry was right about one thng....any coach could have taken that team to the super bowl.
