My favorite teams
Because I don't know which QBs are available next year but I do know who is in the draft this year. If we have a chance to trade up for a good QB prospect that one believes in, I think it's foolish not to try.In today's NFL, if you're taking a QB in the first, you're expecting him to start at some point in year one. The only notable exception being Jordan Love because he has a top 3 QB in front of him.
Considering that and our investment in Dalton this year, why wouldn't you just wait til next year to invest a 1st rounder? You've got Dalton already declared the starter and he's not terrible. He's only on a one year deal, and if he doesn't work out, you're going to have a top 15 pick anyway. Might as well just wait to invest your first next year anyway and get some pieces this year that could be put around that eventual first round pick QB who would be expected to start right away anyway.
I know it bit us in the ass with Trubisky, but fact is that Pace believed in him and made the move to get him. If Pace thinks Jones or Fields is going to be great in the NFL, then he is stupid to not try to get them. QB is that important.
