You make a good point here...The only thing I can think of is that, I have heard before, when teams are trading up for a top QB, the price goes up because there is usually competition to get to that particular spot...
So I would guess that, perhaps, it wouldn’t take “top dollar” to get up to #7 because it’s unlikely teams are going to be competing all that hard for this years’ QBs...And furthermore, given the relationship between Beane and Schoen, I wouldn’t think one of them would be trying to “milk” the other- similar with the situation between McD and Reid, when they made the trade...
But, again, who really knows, right...
