Anquan Boldin for a 2nd round pick?

According to Espn.com , sources from inside the Arizona Cardinals have lowered their compensation requirements for the 28 year old, 6'1 217 pound receiver. The Dallas Cowboys have a pick in the second round, (51st of tomorrow's draft) which might not be exactly what the Cardinals are looking for; but combined with the Cowboys 3rd round pick (from Cleveland) might be able to get the star receiver.

Even if the Cowboys are satisfied with their receiving core led by Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton, there should be a sense of "we don't want to play against this guy in our division twice a year." According to the same ESPN article, the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles are also interested in Boldin. If either one of these teams (or the Cowboys) grab Boldin they immediately become of the favorite to win the NFC east.
Anquan Boldin is a big, fast, prototypical wide receiver, here are some of his positives:

1. 502 receptions,6,496 yards, and 40 touchdowns in 6 seasons.
2. He is an unselfish player who has shared the spotlight with Larry Fitzgerald for the majority of his career.
3. Had over 1,000 yards and 11 TD's last year in only 12 games.

However, there are also some concerns about Boldin:

1. Has been somewhat injury plagued the last two seasons, missing 4 games each season.
2. Boldin wants a huge multi year contract comparable to the best WR's in the game.
3. Had an issue fumbling the ball last year with 3 fumbles lost.

There are reasons to do this deal beyond just the value of the player, but the value of the player in this situation is extremely high; especially you consider that all you have to give up is a 2nd and maybe a 3rd. Having Roy Williams on one side and Anquan Boldin on the other would easily be the best WR tandem in football. I doubt this trade will happen, but I don't know if the Cowboys would get (with the 51st pick in the draft) a comparable talent to Anquan Boldin. Although Boldin himself was a 2nd rounder and also was the only rookie in the Pro Bowl that year. So I guess you never know, the Cowboys could find a gem in the 2nd round that is comparable.

We probably won't know who the Cowboys draft or if they trade the pick until about 7 or 8pm Saturday night because the NFL draft likes to take its time, to say the least. But it should be interesting, if I had to guess I'd say Arizona signs Boldin to a multiyear deal and he goes back to a team he knows, wants to come back to, and that really wants him back.
