The idea that trading two firsts for Sauce made getting a QB impossible seems false to me. First of all we have had all our first round picks for the last 10 years or so, have ben in acute need for a QB, and have used exactly two to get a QB, one was a retread and the one picked high most people here hate. Even if we kept those two picks it isn't likely Ballard will use them on a QB and those two picks are not even close to enough draft capital to move up to get one (we had the 4th pick in the draft, needed a QB but were unwilling to use any capital to move up to get one of the top 3 available). I guess my main belief is that we were not in a position to get a good QB with those two picks and trading them essentially will have no impact for us in our QB search.
