Well truthfully, they may have gotten that "2nd and 7th round pick for him"... but they are still having the poorest season of any team in the league... so what does that say for the trade?
The Raiders have at least put up a few wins, but yeah... they're no great shakes either.
As for QB's being at a premium for a lot of teams right now, how about those Niners having their #1 AND #2 guys out, they bring in their 3rd stringer and BAM... the guy looks like he was born to it in his first start.
I hope this Shaun Hill is the real deal, sure seems like it.

You're way too quick to judge things man.
You're judging a trade by how each team does in the season following, and a QB based on one performance.
Trading Welker for draft picks is similar to trading a guy in baseball for minor leaguers...it's gonna take a few years to see how the "prospects" turn out before you can judge the deal.
You're basically trying to blame the dolphins poor season on this one trade, and that's far from the truth. Sure it cost us one pretty decent player, but him being on our roster right now isn't the difference between 1-13 and making the playoffs.
FWIW I think most football people would agree that you could take just about any team's 3rd WR and put him on the Patriots and he would put up the same type of numbers Welker is this year.
