Not taking a QB at all in this draft?
Research shows that 2nd round QBs have been mostly disappointments (http://www.profootballweekly.com/2011/03/31/use-caution-when-drafting-a-second-round-quarterba), 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?

That's kinda my thought anyways.
We have so many needs in this year of a possible shutdown that it may not be a bad time to stock up the trenches. If the season is shortened then the impact of a new QB will be less significant.
The free agency QB crop this years sucks as far as I'm concerned, I'd just stick with Grossman.

I'd be ecstatic if we don't draft a qb this year. Build the defense this year. DE, NT, OLB, ILB, CB. If we can get 2-3 starters that fit a 3-4 defense I'll consider it a great draft.
In a dream world, trade down with NE for the 17 and 33 pick. Take DE Cameron Jordan (or Watt if he falls), then NT Kenrick Ellis and with the 41 pick ILB Casey Matthews.
The only qb I'd want this year is a 5th or 6th rounder.

I agree I rather not burn a pic on a QB project. Hopefully we suck next year so we can draft Andrew Luck.

Great thread. I'm 100% behind not taking a QB cause this is not a good QB class. We need to build the team in the trenches so I'd play Beck or Grossman, try and get anything we can for McNabb and shoot for Andrew Luck next year.

Not me. I mean it really wouldn't surprise me if we didn't in the first two rounds. But we need a QB. So I hope next weekend doesn't pass without us taking a QB at some point in the draft

I guess you normally pick a later round QB for the purpose of having a good backup QB. But we already got a good back up in Grossman for years to come, so it makes sense not wasting a pick on a later round guy.
Id be happy starting Grossman this year and waiting till next years draft to find a QB in round 1.

Ive been screamin about poor quality pool QBs this draft for awhile, so no.
Next years crop has two legit top ten guys already and 2 more legit overall first rounders.
I think from a quality standpoint you have two borderline first round picks with Gabbert and Cam this draft

No this team needs to draft a QB
