If this rumor is true and they do get Schaub this will surely mean we go into 2014/15 with Hoyer/Schaub and a developmental QB in the 3rd to 7th round ...... our 2 first rounders and 2nd rounder will be used elsewhere .....

And if we get Edelman and Shields the slot receiver and shut down 2nd corner position is done....we can use the early picks in the draft to get Watkins a RB and someone for the right side of the O Line

I suspect schaub goes to Oakland. That's just my gut though.

I think schaub wants to start wherever he goes so if the browns aren't committed to that then he'd probably look elsewhere first.

would be interesting if they got all those guys, specifically what it means for the draft. With Edelman, Gordon and Cameron....not sure we need to spend the #4 on a wide receiver. I would have to think they're going for a LB'er than. Doubtful Mack would come off the board before #4, but if he somehow would than Clowney would be the next logical pick if he's still around.

Free Agency will totally effect our draft options. We have too many holes to fill. I DO NOT want a QB in the 1st round. Would not mind BPA with the 1st pick. someone who comes in and makes an impact and improves the team.

This is the draft of all drafts to trade down in. I hope we trade down twice in the first round. I know I am in the minority but you can accumulate some serious talent in this draft with the number of 1st and 2nd round picks you would have with trade downs.

Shields signed with Green Bay

I agree if Minnesota want to move up and grab our 4th for their 8th and 2nd rounder I am all for it ......

And in real life that never happens.

In a draft this deep that is never going to happen.

I know, it is however realistic to think we could pick up a 2nd round pick from Atlanta or Minnesota in a tradedown if their guy is on the board at 4 and that I would do in a heartbeat.

There is a good chance Atlanta has a love affair with Clowney and Minnesota with one of the QB's. If either of them are there at 4 there is a good chance we pick up a 2nd rounder. I have no delusion of picking up two extra 2nds in real life.

we all know how those second rounders turn out.....

Edelman... no thanks. He's a product of Belichick/Brady

Shields... re-signed in GB

Schaub... I had to really think about this one before weighing in, but I'd be happy if he signed in Cleveland. He has been a starter 7 years in the NFL and racked up 4,000 yds 3 times, a career 130 - 84 TD-INT ratio, and solid passer ratings in 6 of those 7 years. Last year he struggled, but at 31 years old he's not done and he should have something left to offer.

I wouldn't promise Schaub a starting job b/c I would still want him to beat out Hoyer in camp, but I'd love to have that security to get rid of Weeden and Campbell. Plus, this is Hoyer's last year under contract so if he proves to be worthless, we would have something else there AND if he proves to be the future QB, we have a good veteran backup and security to draft somebody who we can develop. Having said all that, I would not only offer Schaub a contract, but I would also draft one of those 1st round QBs. Imagine Schaub/Hoyer/Bortles... That would give us 2-3 years to develop our rookie, who has a very high ceiling... The other option is to keep Schaub/Hoyer this year, and draft your guy next year, but ANY team that is looking into "next year's draft" for their QB is not looking to win any time soon...
