I doubt we get a QB in the draft. I see us trading down and getting Marshall the day of the draft. We get their 1st and 3rd.
Here are the positions we need to address in the draft
1.(Trade w/ Denver) OT
2.OG
3A. C
3B. (Pick gained from Denver) FS
4. OT
5.RB
6. CB
7. MLB
Need a QB for sure bub. JC should be sitting pretty, but then you have Brennan and Collins. Collins might retire or just be put out to stud during camp in August, and Brennan might not make the team either or just get the axe beforehand. Our QB depth at the present time is rather dreadful.

Kafka and Elliot from Purdue will be available probably in round 3.

I don't really think that Campbell will be back here next year, I think Shanahan just said that because like he said, he really hasn't seen the team and will have to evaluate later on. I think he goes back to evaluate and sees that Campbell isn't his answer. Besides why else was Snyder going after Cutler and Sanchez in the offseason? As a just in case Zorn fails and I get Shanahan senario, and now I think that scenario is here.

This is a bold statement but in 2 or 3 years when Bradford starts playing at the same level of a guy like Phillip Rivers you're going to be estatic about the fact that we used a first round pick on him. I've been saying this a lot lately but there were a lot of people in Atlanta on draft day who got pissed when the Falcons drafted Matt Ryan instead of Glen Dorsey.
On top of that, with the Shannahans records of developing QB's, why wouldn't you want a guy with the ability to be a franchise QB for the next 10 or 15 years? Remember Shannahan sent Brian Greise and Jay Cutler to the Pro Bowl, even got Jake Plummer an alternate spot. Then you got Kyle as the OC and we all know how much he helped develop Matt Schaub.
Bradford is damaged goods. Messed up shoulder twice in the same season within a few weeks of him coming back no less. What makes you think he is going to be fine when say Ware sacks his ass? Remember he is a system QB, loads of talent, but Stoops system only elevates the QB play. Also, the Big 12 is virtually an all offense conference. Think Stafford is going to shine so much when the odds are even in the NFL? We want a QB that made things happen on an average or above average team. An average QB can look like an All American if he is surrounded by the gobs of talent on say an Oklahoma, Texas, or Florida. The guys that can really throw down are the guys that are surrounded by maybe less than stellar talent, but who can help elevate their teammates game and make things happen on their own.

If we can draft an olinemen in the first and a QB in the second (McCoy or Pike), I'd be most for that.... I honestly would be game with a later (4th) round type QB as well, I maybe in the minority, but I still think with a line and a running game, Campbell can be good... and I think thats more realistic to happen sooner than a QB to come in and be really good.

What makes you say this? I think Shanahan could have easily used the same tone he used when answering questions about Portis when he talked about Campbell. I would hope that the new front office is smart enough to either keep Campbell (since there are really no good options without giving up picks in a trade) and allow for a drafted QB to develop; or to get compensation for him. I think the smart thing is to keep him around (it shouldn't cost the team much) and let whatever QB is drafted, develop.

I would hope they're watching along with every Skins player as their future rests with the man.

If Clausen isn't on the board then I'm postulating that Bradford will be the choice. No way will Shannahan draft a Lineman in the first round. During his entire tenure in Denver he's only drafted one offensive lineman in the first round that I can recall. He's proven that he's adept at selecting solid o-lineman in the later rounds.
