I have no problem with the Flames keeping their picks, but having just watched Espn's 30 for 30:Elway to Marino, I couldn't help but notice that San Diego had three first round picks that year-picking in about the same places the Flames will be this year- and picked the immortal Billy Ray Smith, Gary Anderson, and Gill Byrd. I wonder if now the Chargers would have traded those three picks for John Elway?

Of course Marino went 27th overall to Miami though, so maybe the Flames keeping their picks will turn out
