On the other hand, they may prefer to draft a S in the 1st or 2nd instead of trading for Bates.
If we dont think Bates is worth the number he is asking I dont see any way that a team with this many early picks would not take a potentially better player in the future on a 5 year rookie deal. Our best bet is probably a team with a solid chance to make a title run missing a critical piece in my opinion.
