It is probably a great deal to trade a 4th rounder for Richardson. 4th rounders have very low success rates...of 468 players taken in round 4 since 1999, 44 have started for 3 seasons or more, 20 have started for 5 seasons or more, 2 have started for 7 seasons or more.
The problem is doing a reasonable new contract and having the strong coaching and support to manage the guy...Pagano does not have the right stuff.
But Richardson is still only 26 (until Nov.29) and has a lot of football talent.
It is worth having a look-see.
