Horse Tracks: So much cray this time of year

I do so love looking at the articles out there this time of year and see not one, but now two complete dumpster fire moves by teams trading up to "get their guy".

Let me be clear here, I don't think moving up in the first round is per se a terrible idea. I just see no reason at all in this year's draft that anyone should be mortgaging their team's draft this year and next to move up and grab a guy. There's just too much good depth in the draft to be had and too little of a sure thing worth jumping out there for.

Also, I'm going to be honest here, I did breath a little sigh of relief to see that the Broncos weren't involved in either trade.

That being said, when I heard Brian Hoyer was visiting today with the Broncos I puked in my mouth just a little. Maybe our championship team isn't immune from head-scratching moves.

I will say this though: bring on the cray. The more teams hop around and stir up drama in the draft, the better it is for us at 31. We'll see some really talented player fall into our laps because too many teams are chasing QBs, RBs, etc.
