I liken this also to when Krause wanted to prolong his job tenure when he traded for/drafted Curry and Chandler. <br>

As <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">this article points out, the value of quarterbacks on rookie contracts can far exceed their value on the open market and is far greater than most any other position.</span>

of a run on QBs--even though this was apparently a weak QB class and next year's is supposed to be pretty strong.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Unless he becomes a hall of famer or wins them a Super Bowl, this will never be a good pick. If he ends up like a Philip Rivers (a well respected QB who has had a great career, but never taken the team very far), it will still be regarded as
a bad move because people will question what other pieces they could have had if they hadnt dealt so mucht o move up 1 spot (not to mention that all indicators point to the fact that Trubisky would have very likely been there at #3 still).

<div>I guess what I'm saying is.... he needs to be Eli Manning.</div>
