This is all really quick and dirty, but if you assume that one-year-later = a one-round drop in value when it comes to draft choices, I figure the deal netted Denver a chart value of around 1300 for Cutler, plus Orton (who I'd say has very little value at all). That's equivalent to the #10 pick.

Even if you assume that the Bears' first's value next year is roughly equivalent to what it's worth this year, that still only puts the total value at the equivalent of our #3 pick. That's not at all too much for a franchise QB.
