There's no way everyone in our draft room is not ROTFLMAO at the dizziness of these moves.

This is a lot of shake-n-bake, let's hope the resulting players can freaking play.

A 5 this year and a 4 next year for a 4 this year seems OK.
A 4 this year for 2 5s this year seems OK.

I don't get embarrassing. Convoluted, sure. A bit mold-breaking by giving two division rivals their shot at premier WR's? Yup. Way too complex to have actually been (even roughly) planned out? Sure on all those.

For me it'll only be embarrassing if and when most of this draft class fails on the field. And then there will be a lot of 'splainin' to do.

And I would have loved to hear Kwesi's justification to the owners on the trades with NFCC teams and how that's a rule that's outdated/overrated/unnecessary.

I am surprised Kwesi has not traded with Bears yet
