I'm confused at those who are ticked off, what is the alternative solution? Heineke again? We know he isn't winning anything

Exactly.
The alternatives were likely Jimmy G (who would cost MORE), Winston (coming off an ACL), Trubisky (probably following Daboll) and Mariota (?). A couple day 2 picks over two years isn't a bad price for an upgrade at the most important position on the field. It's possible that this could end up being a terrible move, but I think it's more probable that this turns out pretty good.
