But sometimes teams aren't smart. They get emotional. If they do draft Jones and everyone gives them shit for it, I could see a petulant reaction along the lines of "OH YEAH? WELL MAC JONES IS SO AWESOME THAT WE JUST TRADED AWAY EVERY OTHER QUARTERBACK BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED THEM!"

Absolutely fair. And there's a semi-reasonable argument to be made that if you are that certain about the draftee, you get as many assets as you possibly can to support him. Blargh.
