Off the top of my head 1 player for 3 1st round picks, no.

Draft Day …

Draft Day …

Bo Callahan had character issues

Bo Callahan had character issues

Imagine the documentary that would inevitably come out 20 years down the road if this happened in real life. "I figured it out when his teammates decided to no show at his birthday party."

Forgot about the Lance trade...oooof.

3 #1's for Trey Lance is asinine. Utterly ridiculous. Someone should have been fired for this. But, that being said, Lance was a victim of being injured more then poor play. He had the starting job and got hurt in that typhoon vs the Bears in week 1 and was replaced by Brock Purdy and the rest is history....then he got traded to Dallas to be Daks back up. I read he will be starting for San Diego this week with Herbert getting a rest.

I believe RGIII was also drafted after 3 firsts were traded.

Yes, but they swapped 2012 1st round picks in the trade.

Regardless, Deshawun Watson cost more.

He had at least one productive year before the injury bug bit him.

Swapping 1st rounders then giving up 2 is the far as I would go for a player that I was 100% sure would be the peice we need to succeed for the next 5 seasons at least. But giving up 3 out right is insane to me. Bears giving up 2 for Mack really set us back. Even Hershel Walker who was a 3 pick trade was not a dominant player . He was good. He had a couple dominant seasons, but all in all I would classify him as a solid player. No Rings and no HOF.

It was essentially the trade that built the 1990's Cowboys. It's even worse because he only played 3 years with the Vikings.
