<![CDATA[Second Best]]>Why do we always go after the second best player in the draft?

If we are going to make a trade and move up why dont we go after the best player and spend it on getting Luck?

(Do you notice how these "greatest QB prospects in a generation seem to be the son of a high level college coach...like Elway, or the son of an NFL QB, like the Mannings or Luck. Maybe Otto Graham has a grandson)

Today no one knows what it would cost. We will know for sure in one week whether the Colts are willing to consider offers.

As for worth... more than the considerable package being floated around here for RG.

Right- the Colts might start getting interested if we offered them both #1s this year, the #2, next year's #1 & #2, and Joe Thomas.

Is Luck worth all of that?

I'd say no he's not..
