Okay, TJ Yates, Matt Lienart, Dan Orlovsky?
I'll stop guessing now.
Although I would really like to know and you probably won't tell me/us.
Tease.
;)
No, eh who knows anymore, Noooooooo (I hope)
Not going to say it because I don't have enough info to confirm the rumor it legit enough to mention to the masses. It's not a name you'd probably expect and it may not be a name some people want to hear. So I'd rather just keep it under wraps for now.

Jimmy Clausen?
That is who I was thinking too. I would not be a fan of that move. But, if we drafted our own QB to develop too, I guess I wouldn't be too terribly upset.

Jimmy Clausen? Jeez! Could you imagine?!
He's not a FA though, is he?

I think if we're not in the top 5 then we're likely to trade down and get one of the supposed 2nd tier QBs and add picks. But that's just my guess
If we are in the top 5 I'm still not totally convinced we're taking one of the big 3 at QB
If the Redskins are in the top 5 and pass on a QB I will probably break my TV and end up in a mental institution...

I just assumed he'd be cut after this year.

Let me just throw this hypothetical out there?
Is Barkley and say Dwight Jones significantly better than Justin Blackmon Nick Foles?
I guess what I'm asking is do you think the gap between the top 3 (Luck, Barkley, RG III) and the next set of QBs significant?

I would say so. I would say there is a big drop off from Barkley to Landry Jones (who someone once considered the second best QB in this draft class after Luck -- he is now considered a second teir QB).
Also, I know it was an example, but I can't see Blackmon falling to us anyway or Shanahan trading up for him.

I am not as high on Barkley but with the other 2 I think the gap is significant. I don't want to settle anymore. I don't care about draft value or filling as many holes as possible in this draft. I want them to get the #1 QB on their board...and if that's not possible because the Colts won't trade then i want them to get the #2 QB on their board. I don't want them to trade down or wait around and hope that their 4th favorite QB falls to them.
I am not pinning the last 20 years of QB ineptitude and frustration on Shanny/Allen but this is year 3 for them...theya re out of time to get cute with trade downs and waiting and risk having it backfire on them.

Ok, so then what if the only choice is Barkley. Not one of the other two?
More importantly, you said a key phrase "the #1 QB on their board" This is what's key. The #1 QB on their board may not be what the consensus #1 is.
