Scalper we have come a long long way…just a question, would you have been satisfied trading multiple first round picks as well as a couple mid round to pick up Fields?

No, I think moving up would have been terrible, unless someone dropped to 14 or later and trading up was sane, i.e. didn't require any future first round picks. The QB I liked was Lance, outside of top-2 obviously.

Comparing to one of worst FOs in NFL history setting the bar awfully low, LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

I stand by my mortgaging comment. A small mortgage is still a mortgage. What is so hard to understand about that? Trading a 5th next year for 6th and 7th this year is a bad trade, especially when the 6th is used to draft a LS. A LS! LOL, LOL, LOL. How can anyone defend this? We sacrificed higher draft capital next year for lower capital this year, that is mortgaging the future. And we made this decision to draft the lowest leverage player on the entire 53 man roster. This is not a move a good FO makes, even if the LS is a HOFer.

I would rather take a flyer on QB when we have no long-term answer, as opposed to drafting a LS when other LSs just as good can be signed off street, or instead of a 10th WR. Everyone acts like this expectation is ridiculous, it is not. While I don't view them as second coming of Montana, Ehlinger or Ramsey are two later round QBs with some potential, even at least to PS (Ehlinger drafted). Everyone cracks me up acting like I'm ridiculous expecting some effort be made to draft and develop a QB when we have NO long term answer. It is inexcusable to have the mediocrity we do at QB and not make at least one late round pick on a developmental QB, for the PS at minimum, period. Addressing QB doesn't have to mean trading a bunch of high picks to move up. NO WAY a real GM leaves QB unaddressed. Love RR, but he should not have GM powers, but this was only way we could get any decent coach because of THE DAN. RR wants Allen as QB3 period, and that's why we didn't take a QB, and it is a HORRIBLE decision.
