Thats basically every team without a set-in-stone starter. The backup plays a great 3rd/4th against 6th string players and suddenly he's the future HoFer.

To get into that position they had to trade away two players they had just gotten last year to get from 13 to 8 and their #1 next year plus other picks to get from 8 to 2. You don't want to admit it but they bet the farm on Wentz and this is a team that has one position of strength (D-line) and that incoming Fletcher Cox contract is going to hurt. Especially since ifthisis accurate, they don't have a lot of wiggle room.

Nobody in Philly is feeling the loss to those 2 players. I actually think most of us feel like at least they finally produced something for what they were being paid. It allows us to be in the position to make that deal. That is much better than over paying them for another year when you have a QB who is most likely never going to deliver a SB to this city. They made the right decision by going after a QB. Everything else is TBD, Plus Sam is a team option next year which could net us something if he plays well enough.

That's not the Jones way (tm). If romo breaks his everything next year, the story from the ranch will be that he likes what he's seen in the young guys (not even sure what young QBs we have now other than the one we just drafted). Jones sucks at drafting QBs and thankfully I think he realizes that now.

Move up from 32?we won't know what we have for prob another 3 years.. Besides, next years QB will belong to you guys. You'll be moving up after you realize Romo is done.

The Cowboys have the Vikings pick next year? Is that from the Walker trade?

Osweiler sucked worse than Manning. The Broncos were right to not eat that giant, bloated contract. Dude is nothing.
-edit-
You said "with." So now I agree. I'm keeping the post because I still hate Osweiler. So much I'm not even going to look up if that is the right way of spelling it.

Seattle got greedy. If they had stuck with the offered deal, the 2nd and a 4th, then it would have been Dallas grabbing Lynch. Once they countered with wanting both 2nd day picks, Stephen nixed the deal and they moved on. They arguably came out better for the deal falling through, since if Smith recovers he's going to be a beast. Not much worse a gamble than grabbing a QB when it's all said and done.

Let's talk more about this. Since we didn't already establish anyone who says they know how a QB will preform in the pros is full of shit. Why is he the best QB in the draft??
