I won't have a problem with this if we trade down in the 2nd round and recoup at least one of those mid-round picks. There's a lot of secondary talent left. Defensive talent in general is still really good. Kevin King, Budda Baker, Jaleel Johnson are 3 at the top of my list.

Chris Burke of SI gave the Bears a D for trading 3 mid-round picks to get the highest-graded QB in the draft and gave KC a B+ for giving up higher draft picks to move up and take a guy with a lower grade out of a system that has never produced a decent QB. So the talking heads obviously don't have a clue.

We haven't gone first round since Grossman. Don't know that we've ever gone QB this high. He doesn't have to start right away and his pedigree is pretty good. Just a lack of games at college level, which, given the differences between the college and Pro games, might not be an awful thing.

Admit I was hoping for Adams, but then you're looking at Peterman or Kaaya in round 2. Let's see what shakes out. I like the depth chart at QB better than the past though.
