Monty Hall Is Disappointed In You, Vinny Cerrato

What's the only thing dumber than offering a trade of the #21 pick in Saturday's NFL Draft and a conditional third-round pick next year (that could be a first rounder depending on incentives met), for disgruntled WR Chad Johnson, as the Redskins did today? That would be rejecting a trade of the #21 pick in Saturday's NFL Draft and a conditional third-round pick next year (that could be a first rounder depending on incentives met), for disgruntled WR Chad Johnson, as the Bengels did today. Thank goodness there's somebody stupider than Vinny Cerrato working in the NFL.
Last year, the Patriots got Randy Moss from Oakland for a fourth round pick. (Speaking of stupider people than Vinny Cerrato, how did any AFC executive let that trade happen last year? How hard would it have been to offer a third-round pick for Moss, just so New England wouldn't get him? It's not like Moss signed a cap-busting deal either. Ridiculous.) And now the Redskins want to give up (possibly) two first round picks for the poor man's Randy Moss? It's utterly baffling.
Granted, on a quasi-level of heightened-future-self-awareness, the trade might make sense to Vinny Cerrato since he knows he'll only f--- up those two picks anyway. At this point it looks stupid because he's trading away the possibility of drafting two superstars with mid-first round picks. But if Cerrato was aware of his own ineptitude, he'd realize that those two picks will likely be wasted on a high-upside, low-desire player who will tear his ACL in the second week on training camp and might, or might not, have attended Clemson. Knowing that; the trade might look something like:

Bengals: WR Chad Johnson
for
Redskins: QB Patrick Ramsey and WR Taylor Jacobs

On that level, the trade might be awesome... Until you factor in Ocho Cinco's combustablility and locker room-dividing presence. But on merely that one level, Cerrato could be a genius.
