I agree, but in todays watered down NFL QB play is magnified cause it's the most important position on the field. Green Bay overcame all those injuries but the one they could never overcome if Rogers got hurt. Same with Indy. Take Manning off that team and they might be 5-11 or 6-10 every year.

you don't need the first overall pick in order to get a potentially great QB. Just look at the great QB of the League in the last decade and tell me who was a 1st overall pick.

I be more than ok with it!

I'd be ok with Mallett, Ponder or Locker (in that order) in the 2nd round, but I think we are picking Locker at 10 and that scares the hell outta me.

Terpfan76 · 04-25-2011, 06:46 PM

If we are going to reach for a qb at either 10 - Locker or 14 - Ponder/Dalton (if we trade back), I'd be much more comfortable reaching for Locker at 10. I just can't possibly see Ponder or Dalton being worth the 14th pick if that is what is being suggested. No way, no how.

GTripp0012 · 04-25-2011, 07:37 PM

It would be bad if we didn't spend any of our picks on a quarterback. It's just not good to have no QBs under the age of 29 on your roster. Had pretty much that same problem last year. Worst thing that you can do in a non-competitive year is having no one (at all) to play.

How many times would the Cowboys have been to the playoffs since 2005 if they had Drew Bledsoe and Chad Hutchinson on their 2006 roster instead of Bledsoe and Romo? Never, maybe?

I'm okay with passing on all QBs in the draft and paying out a decent sized UDFA contract to a guy like Jerrod Johnson, but I'm not cool with just going into the season with Grossman and Beck alone.

I would like it if the Skins would not draft a qb and trade down for more, much needed picks but I am not holding my breath.

I thought it had been established you cannot trade future picks due to the CBA and lockout.

Current players for picks, no. Players you draft, no. Current and future picks, yes.

I was mis-informed, Thanks!

I still am tired of this short sighted team building. Reminds me of the rest of Washington.

diehard · 04-25-2011, 08:27 PM

I'd be ok with it for sure. That's why I've warmed up to taking a QB in the 5th round or later. On paper, this team isn't a playoff contender being able to draft any 1st round graded QB in this year's draft.

Research shows that 2nd round QBs have been mostly disappointments, so unless you get a top flight guy in the 1st round it's basically a waste to take a QB in later rounds.

Do you trust the likes of Grossman or Beck? Or picking up a stop gap veteran such as Hasselbeck?

I would be okay with John Beck and a developmental QB like Tyrod Taylor or Ricky Stanzi.

I think that notion that 2nd round picks can't be successful is far more anecdotal then meaningful.

Mallett is the most ready to play QB right now, I still think JL will be the Star of the group

Locker has just got Heath Shuler written ALL over him. Mobile, inaccurate, low football IQ. Can't see him all of the sudden becoming a great QB when he never was before.

Yeah but Locker is twice the athlete and has a great arm. Hey I agree he's not a guy ready to play until 2012 OR 13 but he's got a huge upside
