That's how lazy sportswriters operate, too -- e.g., team X needs a quarterback -- if they trade up and grab the 4th rated QB, then they had an A draft because they filled their biggest need. See Vikings this year. The lazy sportswriters are projecting that the Vikings and Raiders are after McCarthy or Nix, who project as busts to me. Teams would be wise to defer taking the high-risk QBs until the risk/reward makes more sense. I wouldn't touch either guy until the 3rd round.
