Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Rothlesberger and DeMarcus Ware say hi.
For every flame out "can't miss" first rounder, you can counter with a productive player who's key to his team.
That's the point of the draft, to build through youth. If it wasn't two 1st rounders and maybe only one, I'd have no issue on this deal. But while first rounders come with a huge financial burden, that is going to change with the new CBA, you can bet on that.
This move wreaks of desperation from the Bears and Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith's career's all hinge on a headcase. Enjoy Kampan, Allen and the Williams's all up in your grill Cutler. Have fun!!
