If you look at what other QBs have gotten in trade, a 1 & 2 doesn't look like a lot. Compare it to the Jay Cutler trade for example. Also keep in mind that the Raider had a decent record that year, so the picks weren't at the top of the draft. People overestimate the value of draft picks. We wound up getting Dre Kirkpatrick and Gio Bernard. Decent players (nothing special) for a franchise QB? For a team that desperately needed one? 

I'd take that trade 10/10 times. The Raiders just had too much dysfunction elsewhere to take advantage.

I agree that Palmer was worth what Oakland gave us. I think the proof is in the pudding considering what he did in Arizona. Just because he didn't do so well on a no so good team doesn't mean much. If you look at his career as a whole it's obvious to me that he's worth a few draft picks that might not even be that good.
