Today in second-guessing

Fresh, never-before-seen news from the NFL Draft, where ALL the news is fresh and hasn't, you know, turned all brown and slimy like that forgotten lettuce in the back of the refrigerator:

The Colts and Bears did a thing!

Yes, sir. The Colts, in the second round, took a stud wideout from USC named Michael Pittman Jr., who caught 101 balls last year, is a big target at 6-4 and 224 pounds and gets after-contact yards. Then they took Jonathan Taylor out of Wisconsin, possibly the best running back in college football last year.

And the Bears?

Took Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet, the latest exquisitely finished product from a program that has a history of churning out exquisitely finished tight ends, from Dave Casper right on up to the current models, Tyler Eifert and Kyle Rudolph.

This is the best part of the Draft, if you're a fan of such things or just a fan of pro football. It's watching your team not screw up like you were sure it was going to -- and then, after a few minutes reflection, returning to what is the Draft's very life-giving sustenance: Second-guessing.

And so in some circles today there are people wondering why the Colts didn't swing some kind of backroom deal to trade up and draft quarterback Jordan Love out of Utah State, because Philip Rivers is only going to be around for a couple of years and eventually they're going to have to find another franchise quarterback.

Which prompts the Blob to say: Oh, come on. You got two great pieces and you still want to harp on the quarterback thing?

Look, I get it, eventually the Horsies are going to have to find their next franchise QB. And even if the Packers had to trade up to take Jordan Love with the 26th pick, that's no reflection on Love's projected career arc. Franchise QBs historically have emerged from everywhere in the draft, after all. So why not the 26 pick in the first round?

But. But. The Colts landed two components they needed. The Blob loves the picks, and loves the Bears taking Cole Kmet.

Which of course violates yet more NFL Draft etiquette.

You're never supposed to say you loved your team's picks, at least out loud.  Good lord, man, how un-cool can you be?
