The problem is that Dorsett has shown almost nothing in his time in the NFL to be worth much as trade bait.

50 targets per year, 25 receptions per year, 375 yards per year and 3 TDs total is not much to get other teams excited about his potential.

As an example, we got a 4th round pick for Allen AND had to give a 6th round pick as well. We did get cap relief in the deal but, overall, according to the "draft trade value chart," the 4th we got was worth 38 points and the 6th we gave away was worth 11 points for a "net" of 27 points for Allen equivalent to high 5th round draft choice.

BUF is picking #10 overall. To move from #15 to #10, it would take 250 points. Dwayne Allen only delivered 27 points...we need 9x that to make that trade.

Granted, if I am BUF and I see that I can trade one pick away (that I might have used on WR) to pick up a 3rd year former 1st round choice WR AND still have the #15 overall pick to use on a different position (or pick another WR), then perhaps I do that and I don't care about the "value."

But it takes ALOT to move up into the top ten of the NFL draft. Dorsett does not have that much value, I think.
