The Bears move was a HUGE head scratcher. Trade multiple picks just to move up 1 spot and take a gamble on a qb with only 1 good season ?

[@vaughanhagen3874]

look at the last two drafts Pace was in charge of. Pick before the Bears.. Aaron Donald. The next year.. pick before the Bears.. Leonard Williams. If Pace truly had a good grade on this guy, then I have no problem with him giving up 3rd/4th round picks to do so. If we gave up a first or second I'd have been pretty mad but not only did he avoid that.. he also recoupped some picks after trading down in the second. I wanted other players (Jon Allen, Solomon Thomas, etc) but if he graded this dude worth the #2 or #3 slot then go for it. I'm glad we can sit him behind Glennon and fix him up as well as strengthen other aspects of team while he gets ready.

[@mitchelldemoss1298]

The browns killed it Garret Peppers Njoku in the second rd they took Kizer who combined with Hugh can be a good Qb. They got 2 first rd picks 3 second next year think about that and if KIzer starts which i think he should because unless you are a team picking 26-32 you don't draft a guy to let him sit espically when next year there is a qb class that's supposed to be like 2003

I completely agree with Colin. The biggest proof behind his argument is in 2008 Bill Parcell's passing on Matt Ryan at number hoping to get Joe Flacco with their second first round pick.....bad choice that has set them back years. For that matter who was the Rams Quaterback at that time because the Rams also passed on Ryan and they have been in the middle or bottom of their division for a long time as well. NEVER PASS ON THE FRANCHISE QB THINKING YOU WILL GET HIM LATER!!!

In defense of Chicago for this pick based on the argument "Cleveland didn't like Trubisky so they took the DE over the QB." Up to that point, was Cleveland that reliable for drafts?

True, but the niners are supposed to sign Kirk Cousins next season and if they can get a CB and WR this year or next they could be a legit contender by 2019. As for CLE, they still have Kessler who I think can be a great QB if given the right pieces, clean up a few things here and there and they could be in business. We can laugh at the niners and brownies all we want right now, but they're going to be very good for a long time soon.

[@mtthew123]

@CJWest Unless the 49ers are as good as the Skins next year I highly doubt Kirk is leaving. Kirk could potentially make 30 mil next year and who in there right mind is paying more. Kirk wants 2 things. To be recognized as a great QB and win playoff games and make as much money as possible.
