If we draft a QB in the 2nd...

As in many drafts I feel those high second round picks offer tremendous value which is where Ric and I differ as far as our #3 second round pick having value in a trade for Garoppolo if paired with enough other draft capital to swing a deal.

If anything it's those late 1sts and early 2nds where Belicheat has cleaned up with some good picks so I'm also looking at how he see value not just how I see it.  Formerly top ten ranked guys like Jaylon Smith and Myles Jack were there for the taking last year due to injuries and those players could be steals if they recover from those injuries.  Eddie Goldman had a 1st round ranking and we got a steal in him if he can stay on the field.  Cody Whitehair slid even farther.

So I may view that type of pick much more favorably simply because it can have far less risk and hype associated with it.

If Trubisky carried a high 2nd grade I'd love to take him there and gamble on him but as QB hungry as the NFL has become it ain't gonna happen.  This is the primary reason I'll campaign for Garoppolo as long as we have a realistic shot at him and I believe we do. In fact if he's leaving NE I think Chicago may be a place he'd prefer to play no matter how screwed up we may be and at least he brings some decent previous development with him so we don't have to start from scratch.

I don't think the second part of that ever got beyond the "well we could trade you Cutler if you like stage".  I can't blame Pace for his interest but even he had to know it would take far more than that and other booty.

He would have drafted MM if he had the chance and kept Cutler until he found out what Mariota could do.  I've never bought into that part of the story because it's never been realistic to me.

It's also why I'm telling you I don't see anyone with a top ten pick trading it for Garoppolo when a rookie would come cheaper and some of those guys will be a better fit in SF or Cleveland that they might be here.  Trubisky is the only real fit I see and with him you have even less to go on than Garoppolo.

You won't like it, half of Chicago won't like it, and Fox won't like it but if I'm the Bears GM and I can't swing a trade or sign a FA vet who I can trust I draft a QB later and keep Cutler for another year.  There's actually less risk in that than anything especially if Loggains is staying according to Fox he is.

I agree, I was really...REALLY...hoping he'd jump into the draft, kid looks legitimate. And it's not like he has a ton of NFL weapons he's throwing to either.

What QBs are worth watching in today/tonight's games?  Any the Bears might be interested in?
