Redskins Reconstruction: Quarterbacks

[Dirtbag59]

Like I said Dalton will likely be a first round pick.

Q: Todd McShay's latest mock draft has the Minnesota Vikings taking Andy Dalton with their second-round pick. Although Dalton has far more experience than Tarvaris Jackson did -- when the Vikes took him in the second round -- don't you think Minnesota needs to take a QB in the first round, even if it trades down?

-- Jeff (Minn.)

A: Jeff: I don't think Dalton will be there when the Vikings' turn comes around in round two. My sense -- there's that word again because there are so few absolutes surrounding the draft -- is Dalton goes somewhere between 25 and 35 overall, to a team that trades up to get him. If Minnesota believes it can wait around to get Dalton in round two, I think it'll be disappointed.
