Ok, as much as I'm unsure about JC the fact of the matter is that we really gave up two picks to draft him. Part of the risk in drafting him was having a much higher pick next year (we were picking 9th overall). In the end it cost us a third rounder, a fourth rounder, and 3 spots in the first round (we would have been 22nd overall in 2006). So in the end the first round pick itself was essentially a wash leaving us spending only two picks to draft a QB a year early, which is usually not a bad idea given the amount of time needed to develop a QB.

Still I'm tired of hearing that we gave up "three picks to select JC." If you count the pick used to select him then sure, but other then that the answer is no.
