You mean like Jason Campbell? We spent a ton to trade up into the first round and draft a guy who will be competing for the backup position in his second year.
As for the move to get Rocky, I think the price was too high. The very next pick New England moved up almost as many spots and it only cost them a low third round pick this year to do it. I don't think it was worth next year's #2 and this year's 6th to move that high up for him. Of course, if he really does end up being a solid starter, we've filled a major area of need and the price wouldn't seem too bad. Only time will tell.
