Quarterback

Does anyone besides me think we should draft a QB to groom as a serviceable backup or possibly a future starter? I dont think we should invest a high pick, but maybe 5th rounder or so.

Wow, I hav heard no one say that, I believe it would be a waste of a pick because Ramsey is growing under Gibbs offense, and our problem last year was the wide out position

I was about to say no categorically, but I guess if we lost hasselbeck through free agency, it would sound less 'silly'.

But picking up a project would seem a luxury that we can't afford right now. We have more important slots to try and fill than a clipboard carrying QB.

Practice squads are usually a pretty good place to steal someone else's 'project' anyway. So unless you're getting what you consider a draft day 'steal'... it's not worth it IMO.

which is why we dont need to invest a high pick. If Ramsey gets hurt, as he has been in the past, we are screwed. We all saw what Brunell is capable of.

so what happens if Ramsey gets hurt? Bring in Brunell? Or what about Hasselback. Neither are capable of sustaining a playoff run

... and you think that a guy drafted in the 5th or 6th round of THIS year's draft WILL be the solution if that happens?

There's always some old journeyman who didn't get picked up by a team that would give you a better shot at winning games than that IMO.

I just think that drafting someone in say round 5 or 6, ala Tom Brady, is worth consideration. I dont think that is a gamble.

if Tom Brady is there in the 5th or 6th round... I'd say we should take him My 2 cents

...although we don't have a 5th so that might be kinda hard...

otherwise... I'd say, let's wait one more year before we look for "the future".... just to see how Ramsey does handle a full year under a Gibbs offense...

But BTP, if Tom Brady is still there in the 5th or 6th do you think he will be worth a pick this time? I mean does lightning strike twice with these guys?

Now we could see if Dallas wants to trade Drew! He was so much better than Tom at school, just ask Jansen!

If Tom Brady is still there in the 5th round, we should definately use the pick we don't have to select him

What would we have to lose

My thoughts exactly! This way we don't waste a pick on a guy that's most likely just another QB!!

You're right BTP - 1niksder's a keeper!
