Uhhhgg. I've said it before, I'll say it again. No Chance we draft Campbell.
1. If we really did want him, we wouldn't go leaking that to the whole world, especially with it being a potential 25th pick. Why tip our hand so badly to let anyone else who wants him leapfrog us?
2. Gibbs doesn't have time to groom Campbell into a starter.
3. Campbell wasn't even that stellar of a QB for 3 of his 4 years at Auburn. One good season does not a quarterback make.
4. Campbell has only ever really excelled in a west coast offense. That type of QB is absolutely useless to Gibbs's offense.
5. We have too many other needs, and this draft is just too deep at CB and WR (coincidentally two of our biggest needs) to make a reach for a 3rd QB.
6. Because the draft is so deep at CB and WR, the best thing the skins could do to help themselves if they plan on staying at #25 to make a pick is to convince the rest of the world that they are taking Campbell. This would potentially cool the feet of anyone behind them that is also looking for a CB or WR and is considering leapfrogging the skins to get one. If they think the skins are going with Campbell, they won't feel like they have to trade up past them to get the next best WR or CB available when #22, 23, 24 start going off the board.
7. I'm not a fan of Campbell and I've told Danny Boy and Joey G how I feel (ok, not really, but points 1-6 stand)
