It is also why there was a run on QBs the past two years, because everyone knew this class would be weak. (By this, I mean the picks by MINN and ATL of a QB despite already having a guy at the starter position.

I said this to make another point, but left it out. This is not a draft where I would trade back, because the talent drop-off is huge. If Ballard were more secure in his status as GM, then maybe trade back, but he is on the hot seat, and has to get the best he can get instead of looking for value.
