It is a steep price to pay, but Oakland has to preserve the decent start they have and the good prospects of winning the division.

 What are you basing the Matt Flynn talk on, the one game he played against the Pats?
There are probably a bunch of back-up's in the league now that you could have acquired for nothing more than a 3rd round pick. 
It's ludicris to think that Carson Palmer might cost them 2 #1 picks. It's highway robbery.
