Another thing I can see happening, is that with the limited time that is going to be available getting these green quarterbacks ready to play, and with so many teams needing a starting quarterback, it HAS to raise the value of say a Donovan McNabb.

Now, let me also say this, I doubt any teams is going to mortgage their future or give their firstborn for him, but I definitely could see a deal in where teams want a proven commodity to come and step in and perform without losing too much function at the position, even if it is for a short term (2-3 years, or even one year, with another upside of having your green rookie QB learn behind an all pro QB).

I definitely see the market for a McNabb getting hotter, and the longer this lockout goes, the better our chances of getting a good deal (picks/players if not traded before this draft). Holding this card tight to our chest seems like it really could serve us well, and we could possibly recoup that 2nd round pick we gave up, but more than likely I see us getting a 3rd and 4th for him, which is good value right now, given our lack of picks.
