The thing is they actually have to do it. Not just talk about it.

Once again, if Eason is Andrew Luck, we're not getting him. We're not stockpiling picks, and even if we did, it wouldn't be enough for us to jump from the 20s to #1 overall. There is no price or amount of draft picks that will ever be enough, because eventually the team trading with us will say, "Listen, thanks for your entire draft for the next 3 years, but uhh... we'd probably just rather keep this pick right here thank you."
Worrying about the top QBs in a draft class was what we did during Herm and Pioli. It didn't work. The franchise was too chickenshit. That dream died the day we traded for Alex. Now we have to gauge the 3rd, 4th, 5th best QB talents in a given draft class. Because that's the only shit that will ever fall to us that we'll be in a position to draft or move up and draft.
