The Bears did the right thing by strengthening their porous and aging offensive line and by getting Matt Forte in the second round.
Grossman and Orton took them to the playoffs in 2 of the last 3 years. The team will be able to pick up a big, scrambling QB in free agency or a trade for one. I didn't see any QB's out there who could start in 2008. Yeah, they could have picked someone in the last 2 rounds and get a better grade from the "experts." But better draft grades don't translate into a better 2008 team. Getting rid of Brian Griese was a good move. He no longer has an upside.
As for the Vikings, they are crazy to stick with Tarvaris Jackson. They need a good, experienced QB. With Favre gone, the Lions have the top QB in the NFC North with old Jon Kittna. I'd rate Grossman, at least ten years younger, as the next best QB in the division -- definitely ahead of the raw Aaron Rodgers and the untested Brian Brohm.
