So we just need to hold out until we're #1 overall in the perfect year? Cool.

I don’t think people realize 2001 and 2014 don’t happen very often.

No but you don't trade the farm for a question mark QB.  Especially next years 1st.

They're all question marks. This myth of "sure thing" prospects needs to die. There are busts and steals in every draft.

A top 5 pick should never be a bust.  You don't trade all your assets for a player that could be a bust.

It’s the dumbest argument around. Like you says no draft pick is a guarantee franchise player. The QBs that look the closest aren’t tradeable…

"Should" doesn't matter. They can all bust.

This poo is not a science and it's not nearly as simple as you're trying to make it out to be.

Who's making it simple?  You just think any team ahead of us is going to trade with us when Stroud in still on the board.

This. If there was a Manning/Luck/Lawrence type prospect available the Bears would be drafting him and trading Fields. But they're called once in a decade type prospects for a reason.

Of course they will. It happens every year. Teams that don’t need QBs trade with teams that do, it’s how the Chiefs got Mahomes.

Point out where I've said that. Hell, I haven't even advocated trading up for him. I'm just ragging on you for terribly flawed logic.

Exactly. Burrow wasn’t available for trade, Luck wasn’t available for trade. Hell the Colts moved on from injured old Manning for Luck.
It’s not secret the Corral fanboys really don’t want us to draft a QB. That’s all this argument is…

I didn't hate drafting Corral (though I would've drafted Howell over him all day everyday) but the reality is that he just flat out didn't look like he belonged on an NFL field in the preseason. I've never seen a guy look THAT bad and pan out.

Yeah having Corral doesn’t have any weight on our future at the position. If he works out then it’s a nice bonus/ surprise.
