I guarantee you Schneider doesn't consider a 6th round pick a peanut.

I absolutely saw this coming, I set the over/under for compensation for the rights to Lynch in a bet with Norcal at 6.5 and that's likely just about exactly the value we got out of that trade: a mid 6th round pick.

We got free draft capital for an asset we were never going to use anyway, good for us.

Yup. 2 5th round selections is better than a 5th and 6th.
And we know how much value we've got over the years with 5th rounders.

Exchanging a 6th for a 5th is peanuts compared to what some people were talking about, ie a 3 or 4th round pick.

There's what people are talking about and then there's the reality the GMs have to deal with.
This isn't a slam dunk for Oakland, there's a measure of risk. Lynch may play 3 games and then say he's done. After a year and a half away from football and past the 30 mark with all his carries, who knows what's going to happen.
They are effectively gambling a 5th round pick that Lynch has some of that magic left for a year. How much of a gamble is anyone's guess.

Who? Not me, not anyone I've been talking to.

No, not you. But there's been others on this board and/or the two other boards I frequent that thought we could get as high as a 3rd rounder. I was not expecting anything higher than a 6th.
