I would rather have drafted Drew Brees than trade for Trent Green.
The QB class in '93 was pathetic, so trading for Montana was a fair investment, but they should have also persued Steve Buerlein in free agency to back him up and learn from him, because Montana was fragile at that point in his career and it was inevitable that he would be injured at some point.
