The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

If we wind up with Peyton, is it crazy that I'd consider Richardson at #6?

Just those two alone would be such a tremendous boost to our offense.

We'd actually, you know, keep some opposing coaches up at night don't you think?

If we can get a healthy Peyton in FA then I dont think anyone would complain about whatever we do with out draft but RB is not our 2nd or 3rd or even our fourth biggest need aside from QB, so I would rather see them draft someone else at #6. If we already had peyton at draft time then I would want WR (only if Blackmon is there) and if not then Nest available Oline.

The thing is, we lack playmakers. I view Richardson as one of the premier ones coming into the draft. Helu and Royster are nice players, don't get me wrong, but they are not on the same level IMO.

And I'm someone who usually would go against drafting RB that high. It's just an intriguing option to me given who's likely going to be available when we pick.

Yeah I agree we need playmakers on this team but with that in mind wouldn't you think Blackmon is more of a playmaker?

Blackmon's not going to be there when we pick. @ 6 it looks like our options are going to be Richardson, Reiff and maybe Claiborne. If not we'll need to trade down or reach.

I'm not actually against any of those options. I just wouldn't necessarily rule out drafting Richardson at this point.
