If you hit the poverty rookie lottery you can extract north of $200 million in surplus value (as the Texans will with Stroud). A true developmental league where prospects can develop where they are earning a minor league salary that doesn't count against the cap would surely help teams not rush guys.
Nah, that means the Bears got nothing when they could have had Stroud. Getting the rest of the haul, but still not getting the QB is pretty horrible (albeit on brand for the Bears), and makes whatever value they got for guys like Moore and the picks kind of worthless. It would be one of the biggest everyone loses trades ever.

Carolina could have had Stroud. It’s who they wanted all along. In stepped the owner.
Now Young will be a Roughrider next season.
