[QUOTE="sjb12681, post: 674474, member: 8865"] This is a crazy trade on the surface, unless you are looking at it from the Vikings likely perspective. They have to think that they had a great shot at the SB this year with Bridgewater, and still have a solid one with a serviceable starting QB in Bradford. Giving up the 1st using this logic means less to them as it would be a late 1st rounder, which can be recouped with some of their other picks being moved around at draft time. If they didnt feel like there was a FA option available to be had, and didnt see a trade for a better QB for less with the same level of upside in their system, then this was the trade to be had. It is a shame for them it cost as much as it did, but any trade they were involved in was going to have some level of premium being that they had no real bargaining position to come from if they really wanted a player, other than a higher than should have been draft pick. All that being said, With his history of tear- prone ACLs himself, it would be a disastrous trade if he only makes it 4 games before hitting IR as well. Im less excited to face them now than I was 4 hours ago, for what its worth. [/QUOTE]
