"A second-round pick for a player with Lynch's rap sheet seems expensive. The Scouts Inc. draft board projects Cal's Jahvid Best and Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster as second-round picks in this year's draft. Buffalo might very well pull the trigger on a Lynch trade, but if the front office can finagle a second-round draft pick out of another team, then it will be a substantial coup."

"There's no chance anyone would give up that high a pick for someone with Lynch's off-field baggage and salary, unless they were getting something like a third-round pick back. If the Bills are stuck on wanting a second-rounder for Lynch, they are misjudging his value or they aren't really that interested in moving him."
