How To Get A Qb
-
OK here's one, remember the rumours we were willing to offer the number 12 and 19 pick last year to trade with tk to grab Mariota?
What would peoples opinions be now had we done that, looking back with hindsight obviously! Let's face it, Shelton and cam have hardly light it up.

Outside of a select few, the QB evaluation on this board has been godawful.
I'm not sure if there was a single soul on this board who was okay with Mariota or Winston, I believe the overwhelming majority thought them to be not worth the pick.
Yet both managed to have solid rookie years despite their franchises being in utter disarray around them, while our QB was off doing blow off some dudes rod.
(And before you bring up my backing of Manziel, go look at who I was high on pre-draft. Here's a hint...it wasn't Manziel. I didn't start backing him until he became our QB. Which reminds me - I owe miktoxic a sixer.)

Bosa doesn't want to be here so I want someone who does. Would Bosa resign with us after his rookie contract is up?

trade down--in the top ten and still pick Lynch,Goff,or Wentz.

Not a fan of this idea. I doubt Jackson, Sashi and the new scoutmaster general are equally excited about all three becoming elite QBs such that they would be happy with any of them. They probably favour one and should 'go get him' if possible. Of course if that guy's gone, you can look at moving down and picking up more picks.

Denver and Arizona were ppoised to take the next step. Peyton Manning was the product of a little bit of Indianapolis skullduggery who faked the severity an injury while the team sandbagged their way to a first round pick.
Carson Palmer was hampered by being a decent quarterback on a bad team and as usual took more blame that he deserved in Cincinnati. Arizona was on their way up being hampered by a bad quarterback.
The Cardinals were a winning team the season when he was hurt.
I don't think either of those situations applies to us. Also, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer we're not the missing piece to the puzzle in Cleveland.

And back to that veteran with some gas in the tank. It doesn't work if the team sucks or there's not as much gas left as one might think. Example Joe Namath in Los Angeles. Replaced midseason by a mediocre Pat Haden. Cleveland Jake Delhomme.

Unless you could get Brees or Rivers there's no one even interesting out there.

No matter who we take first I hope we take a chance on cardale jones later. Could be a huge payoff.

And the reason I hesitate to do that is the fact that the homers will go absolutely out of their minds if he doesn't start immediately and for a long period of time regardless of his performance.
I haven't got anything against the kid but he did lose the starting job on the team he took to the national championship in three spectacular outings.
And since we have glaring needs that have nothing to do with quarterback how can we spend two of our top three picks on that position?

Because we don't have one and we need one. If our top pick busts (imagine that) there needs to be a backup plan. What huge defensive picks do the patriots have playing for them? What huge offensive picks?

Of course if the team is no better than its been there's a damn good chance he will bust and so will your boy Cardale.Because we don't have one and we need one.

If the team is only one player, quarterback, away from success AND if the heir apparent to Philip Rivers and Drew Brees is in place and they up salary cap casualties that might help.

Why take anyone? They'll just bust

I'd consider cardale with a 5th or 6th round pick.
We still gotta get the #1 guy

If we don't turn the ship around they sure will.
And just for the record I agree, why take anyone?
But especially why take anyone just because he's from Ohio State?
If the Cleveland Browns suck because of the quarterback position yes indeed. Draft your best guess at the number 2 spot.

The point is there always guys that can play that fall through the cracks. Belichick has built a dynasty finding them. We can't possibly draft to fill all our positions of need so you really have to rank them in importance.

New England's entire starting offense only has 1 1st round pick on it.
However, it also has Tom Brady on it.
Really I want to see us go QB @ #2. Pray for the second coming of Gordon, hope and pray we can get a guy like Alshon Jeffrey. Maybe draft a mid-low WR/RB/OL but I think most of our draft should really focus on the defensive front.
Going to a power run game, we really need to find a solid lead FB blocker and a TE bruiser too - but we may be able to find some cheap gems from FA or get UDFAs. For some reason though we haven't been find a decent fullback.

Well there is a dissenting opinion.
(Yes players do fall through the cracks.
Are there any other second string college quarterbacks you have your eye on?)
