NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

Briggs is a great player, but I think the reason that people are reacting as negatively as they are is that this deal represents another attempt to shortcut the draft process by bringing in guys who were groomed in other people's systems. It appeared that we finally had learned our lesson and were committed to maximizing both this and future drafts, and then we here that, once again, we are interested in bringing in the next big name. If we are going to drop that far down in draft position it should not be to add another probowler to maybe our deepest position, but to pick up later round picks who can provide the depth that we so sorely lack.

I can't help but think there is something very fishy here, and I will be shocked if this actually happens. But if it does, well, here we go again.
