If it were Manning/Tannehill I would probably be okay. but I don't believe they would take Tannehill at #6 if manning is on the roster and if they don't do that then getting him becomes very difficult.

Whats worth more IMO is Luck/Bradford/RG3 and less picks because those 3 QB's have the highest percentage chance of becoming franchise QB's then anyone else available. This is a QB league now...the teams with the best QB's win consistently and everyone else is hovering in that 6 to 10 win range and hoping for some good luck to have a decent season. And I do not want to risk the entire Shanny/Allen era on turning some mid round QB prospect into that franchise QB because that just doesn't happen very often. A smart approach to free agency can replace the high draft picks we have to sacrifice to get our QB...but what free agency can't do is get us a young franchise QB.
