(Also got Robert Geathers from the Deltha trade, but I am not so sure that's a plus considering how many years he stuck on the team making a bunch of money and taking the starting job from better players.)
Steven Jackson > Deltha O'Neal + Chris Perry + Robert Geathers
Admittedly, that would have worked out well if they didn't trade back the second time. Deltha O'Neal + Steven Jackson.
But I will go ahead and say sure, if the trade back involves young Pro Bowl players coming to the Bengals, then sure. If it's just more picks, probably gonna pass.
Geather was like Peko. He did not deserve the hate he received from most fans.
Chris Perry was the Big Ten Offensiev Player of the Year and won the Doak Walker Award as the best RB in the country. He had no serious injury issues in college. It is easy to bash him now with the benefit of hindsight, but he was a very good RB that no one knew would have his career ruined by injury. Hindsight also makes it easy to claim everyone knew Jackson was going to be a Hall of Fame RB, but for both his career and senior season in college he averaged less than 5 yards per carry. There was a reason he was not taken until the 24th pick.
