    Has anyone considered that with 12 picks (assuming we don't trade some away) that perhaps we'll spend a late round pick on a QB in addition to an early rounder?

    This is what the Packers did with Flynn and Brohm a couple of years ago to maximize their chances of finding a backup for Aaron Rodgers.

    You could then wind up with a duo like Tony Pike and, say, Matt Nichols.

    from what i've heard the browns have shown zero interest whatsoever in Pike

    OK, Mr. Contrarian....

    You could have "Early Round QB A" and "Late Rounder QB 3". Not showing interest in a QB is not a sign of not having any. I just used Pike as an example.

    Makes sense, Earl, especially when you think of how Mangini kept 4 QBs on the 53 man during his final year with the Jets.

    True. It was initially going to be Pennington, Clemens and Ratliff. They tried to protect Ainge. Then Favre happened.

    I think you'll see Holmgren looking for QB talent most years even if he has a starter.

    my favorite qbs in this draft are Zac Robinson and Skelton but Skelton will go alot higher then he shoud because of his size and arm strength. If we can get either in the lower 4th round Id be happy they are both projects but have really good potential

    posting it three times does prove your point on liking the QB's. I dont know much about Skelton, but he does have good size. If Robinson can put on a few lbs then I think he could do very well. He could be one of those over looked QB's that kick ass in the pro's.

    No but you're quite the negative person. "D-bag"? Oh, you're so mature there in West Virginia.

    I've thought a 3rd & 6th or 7th quite possible, with one going to the practice squad come last fall cut.

    I think since we just signed 2 qbs in FA, the chances are pretty slim. One would assume neither Jake or Wallace is going to get cut, so that gives you 4 qbs...I don't see the point. Drafted qbs who get put on practice squads stand a strong possibility of getting picked up.

    The first place a team looks if a qb gets hurt or falls out of favor is the practice squad list.

    Ditto, I was for drafting two until the signings.

    I don't see two QBs in this draft, but I do think we will snag one this year and then draft another one next year. And by that I mean a third-rounder or sooner in both years.

    Remember, Holmgren has a QB fetish. It's almost like a tech toy for him. By the next year, you've found the latest, greatest thing and you have to get your hands on it.

    I'm thinking Tebow this year and who knows next year.
