You'd much rather waste a 5th on a QB in a MUCH worse QB draft than on a guy who's graded higher, and has actually played in the NFL even if was week 18?
You are getting WAY too caught up in a very late 5th round. And ignoring they got the first pick in the 7th back. They basically moved down 34 spots AND god a backup QB with amazing traits.
There literally is NO reason to hate this trade. At all.
There was not a QB outside the top 3 rounds that was going to be any better than Milton, and in most cases, probably not as highly graded.
They gave up on of the last 2 comp picks to get it...not there own 5th, AND they got the first pick in the 7th to boot.
Using 1 of 3 comp picks is NOT going to hurt them in the fucking draft. Jesus Christ.
Also this. At least Milton has been thought highly of, has amazing traits, and has actually played downs in the NFL, regardless of compeition.
