If you recognize a player, and believe that there isn't a 100% chance that another team will trade up in front of you to take him, I have no problem with being aggressive in that situation. It's not like the Bears have ever had QB success. Like the Rams, you have to take chances. There aren't exactly any other Tom Bradys out there waiting to be picked on round 6.
That's why I never understood the criticism for a "reach" pick. "Oh, he was taken 15 picks higher than he should have been picked." If you like the guy and you can't trade down a few spots and he's going to be gone the next time you pick, you pick him or you don't get the guy you want.
