Well I mean to be fair, that 22nd pick was the one they stole from Atlanta in the Julio Jones trade, so it wasn't even their pick to begin with. I'm not entirely sure if their plan was to tank, but drafting Weeden is a no lose situation: If he's good, he's your QB going forward; if he sucks, you get Matt Barkley. Pretty much a win-win right there.
