The Skins were wheeling and dealing picks back then as well. Yes, we got the motherlode for Ricky Williams, while still geting the player we wanted to select at the top (Champ Bailey). However, we also dealt our own first (#11 overall), our 3rd, and our 2000 2nd round pick to acquire Brad Johnson after allowing Trent Green to depart via free agency. I've often wondered what might have happened had we re-signed Green, and kept our own picks on top of the boatload Ditka gave us.
One final trivia note - Minnesota selected Daunte Culpepper with the 11th pick in that draft.
