I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched. I'm actually not.

But for years people have mocked teams who give up draft picks to move up in the first round to draft QBs. Yes, it's true that the majority of these cases haven't worked out for them. The most significant examples I can think of where it worked out for teams are the Giants and Manning (if you could call that an example considering if it weren't for Eli's entitlement complex he would have played his career in San Diego) as well as the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, who only traded up a few spots in the late/middle of the 1st round.

The book is still yet to be written on ALL of these QBs, particularly the 2017 ones, but as of now, 2016 has produced TWO big time 1st round trades to move up and take QBs. Both guys have worked out pretty damn well for their teams, with one of them being in the running for league MVP. Both teams gave up future 1st and 2nd round picks and nearly all of their draft stock from the 1st through 3rd rounds in 2016 to grab them.

And in 2017, the Chiefs and Texans also made big time deals to grab their guys. I think we could say both guys have a puncher's chance of also working out.

4 QBs drafted in big draft day trades, going against what is thought of as conventional wisdom. You're not supposed to do that-- that's how you tank your franchise, blah blah blah.

Well, things might be changing.
