The rest is negotiable.
Why would a team trade a 1st round pick for Rice? I don't think you'd get a high 1st round pick at all.

If you look at the teams who really need RB's there aren't too many in the top 15 that might be interested in trading a 1st rounder for Rice.

Maybe a 2nd, 3rd, and a 2nd in 2014.

The only RB I could see teams trading a 1st for is Arian Foster or Adrian Peterson. Even then...who knows because AP is what...28/29 years old?
