But again, desperation is at an all-time high for QB play, so the reaches are just increasing. The desperation is so high the 49ers tricked the Bears into giving up a few more picks to move up one spot for Trubisky, who 10 years ago would have been a second round pick at best. Remember this was the era Aaron Rodgers could actually fall to 24 in the draft. Would never happen now, he'd be gone by the fifth overall pick (more likely the second overall pick).
And with a 49ers mention, I'll throw them out as the deep sleeper to win it all next year. Foundation is strong and Garoppolo looks like the man. With the ton of cap space they have, could add some weapons for Jimmy and then look out.

Ok so they got some picks wrong, NFL teams do all the time as well
Also QBs have always been overdrafted, Alex Smith went 1st overall that year
Rodgers wasn't rated anywhere near the top 10, Brady went in the 6th etc.
Drafting is still very difficult to do
But the third round talent stuff is coming from where?
