Had to be multiple teams in a bidding war to move up.
This is the new NFL that desperately needs new QB talents.
Brock Osweiler gets 18m per and teams trade nearly 2 full drafts worth of picks to move up for their QB.
What's it gonna be like when Brady, Brees, Rivers, Eli and other older vets retire and that demand goes up even more?

I would guess it would be try to find a way to make the power run game work. Everyone is going small to cover if you can get a line to rape faces it might be worth a shot. It doesnt work if you don't have a respectable qb, but it is easier to find respectable than elite.

Jerome Bettis and the Defense went 15-1.

Dane and DJ are right. It's not a bad trade if you hit. If you don't hit, taking a QB at 15 is a disaster.
If the Chiefs did this and ended up with a top 5 QB I'd beat off every day to the trade. If we did it and ended up with a game a manger, Arrowhead would burn.
