It does seem rather pricey for a 2 game....audition

Has anyone mentioned the possibility of acquiring TJ Yates?

hes been very average on a team with a hell of a lot more weapons that we have, in the same system. i didnt think he was any good in college, and i dont think he will be more than a backup in the pros.

His team made him the third stringer behind Leinart. Plus he's a rookie and under contract.

Should we acquire TJ Yates??

Screw getting blackmon and flynn. Trade up whatever we need to to get a guy that can completely turn us around like RG3 can, then throw every dime we have to get dwayne bowe in free agency. DONE

Then in the rest of the draft get some lineman and CB's

Eventhough that's a good scenario too, how much do you think it's going to cost us to trade up to # 2 to get him?

I'm not sure, maybe this year's 1st and 3rd and next year's 1st and 4th? Something close to that, but John Clayton from ESPN seems quite sure that's what we're going to try to do (it's in Dan Steinberg's column on The Washington Post).

Also, I'd be shocked if Holmgren was planning on drafting RG3, he has never ever drafted a QB in the first round.

I could see Holmgren falling in love with Flynn. Green Bay would probably prefer he went to the AFC as well. I'd like to see us add 2-3 QBs. 1 free agent and a couple rookies.

I would love that as well. I think we end up drafting our franchise QB in the draft, keeping rex on as his backup, and drafting a guy that Shanahan has scouted out and feels comfortable with in the 6th or 7th round of the draft, hopefully with a pick we acquire by trading down somehow. I also believe that even if we DO acquire RG3 by trading up, we will still somehow come out of this years draft with 10+ prospects. And that is not including UDFA.

This is THE year that Shanahan gets his pieces (QB, depth guys) for the next 7 or 8 years for this franchise. Not saying we wont be players in FA, we will, but I liken the splash to a dive instead of a cannonball, maybe one marquee sign via FA, and I see that being either WR or secondary.

I'd take orton with a qb like tannehill to groom. If not then I'd go flynn or RG3

Noooo. I'm tired of losing with Vet QB's who have shown little to no potential. The fact that you put tannehill in there is what really makes this scenario even worse. I was watching his highlights against LSU last night and I litterally went from --> :confused: --> --> --> --> :vomit: from watching his highlights from beginning to end. If its RG3, Maybe Foles, Tyler Wilson, Kellen, then thats not as bad of a scenario, but Tannehill..no thanks.

I think Jeffery could go late first especially after the combine.

Anyone but RGIII. When I look at the QBs currently in the playoffs I dont see anyone playing RGIIIs style. Its exciting to watch in college but doesnt win in the pros. Get a pro style QB for the pro game.
