The power of the QB rookie deal.

In 2 years, they will move on from CC just in time to get a comp pick that is actually better than the draft pick they shipped to us.  And in that time they will continue to do Baltimore things to make sure they stay competitive and have their shots at post season play with super bowl possibilities.

Where will this team be in 2 years?  Probably about the same but without 2 picks in the first round.  I really hope the front office does well and we get some daylight but the track record lends itself to screwing it up.

Edit:
Let me add if this was a team with a good track record, it would feel great to get something for someone that you were going to cut.  The Bouye deal would feel better as well.  But they just feel hollow and like more of the same because they squandered defensive talent and now the cupboard is bare.
