No matter what happens this year the Rayz can take solice looking ahead to 2010. With his most recent trade of Jennings and Hightower for Edwards and Benson and a slew of picks including a 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, 3rd rounder and 5th rounder. In my opinion the Rayz win this trade big time as Edwards is a down grade but not a huge one and definitely not worth giving up a 1st,2nd,3rd, and 5th that's top runningback trade value.
The Rayz managed to still have a good roster for this year but now will most likely go in to 2010 as one of the favorites to win the MegaBowl as his keepers at the moment would be Slaton, Ronnie Brown, and Edwards not top of the line but pretty good and would have 2 first round picks, 3 2nd round picks, 2 3rd round picks, 2 5th round picks and 2 7th round picks which should allow him to build a powerhouse. This reminds of me of the Cowboys trading of Hershell Walker for a load of draft picks that shaped the Cowboys 90's dynasty.
As for the Kings they gave up way too much but it does make the roster better for '09 where it seems they are going all in for a title and a chance to compete with the U.Gators and C.Falcon. While his present looks bright it may have came at the cost of his future barring some trading of his core players next offseason he won't pick until the 4th round and then he'll skip the 5th round and with each team getting 3 keepers the 4th round should have 7th round talent. So the Kings better bring home a title this year or this trade is gonna look like more and more of a win for the Rayz especially if they're able to win it all 2010.
