The Mid Round QB fallacy

But it should be noted that Chris Samuels has not announced his retirement yet. He's older and will need replacing soon even if he doesn't retire, so maybe it doesn't change things all that much. But if before the draft he announces that he's still playing, that's all the more reason to go QB.

As much as I like and respect Samuels, at really hope it doesn't come to this. Barring a miracle, Samuels is not going to be 100% especially with the whole danger of being paralyzed.
