2015 Draft - Quarterbacks

I wouldnt mind if we become the fleecer for someone moving up to take Jamies or Marriotta.

The best data I have seen for draft success is to accrue picks. If we have someone willing to trade up in the first round and we can get their first and second for it you have to do it.

I dunno with this FO, the best QB on the roster was a guy we didn't draft...

I think you use the entire draft next year to address our deficiencies (other than QB). O-Line, Secondary, maybe some other D positions. You give this quarterback and this coach a chance to meet in the middle with upgrades at those horrific positions. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, you look for a new QB who will come into a better situation (i.e. a team with a hopefully better O-Line and Defense).

So you guys want to continue with the same plan that has failed us for what, 2 decades?

Drafting a QB is not the solution to our woes.

Building Offensive and Defensive lines are the only option.

Damn right! This is a good year for OL. Pick the best first round OT available. Don't over-think it. No BPA. Just do it!

BTW, I'd like to say just one thing about a thread on drafting a QB: Yuck!

Actually, make that two things: B-o-o-o-o-o!

I'm all for that! But too much trading down is a trap. Shanny proved that by picking up a bunch of late round picks that weren't worth spit.

^ looking at the draft history I wouldn't consider the FO of the Skins to be QB draft happy. I think we have been rather poor in drafting overall. Of the 42 picks we have had since 2010 (5 years) 8 or roughly 20% have been o-line picks.

RGIII is with us next year - just my guess - unless he simply sucks it up terribly in the next 5 games. If he shows any improvement, JG and RGIII become one during the offseason. Colt gets resigned, KC - have a nice day. If RGIII does not show significant steps in the first 6 games next year. Colt goes in as starter and we draft a QB 2016.

Who knows at this point? It's all just dust in the f'ing wind with this franchise.

Concerning the ability of our FO to find talent, I don't look any further back than the last draft and FA period. Before then, it was Shanny and you-know-who.

I think that Bruce Allen and his staff did a good job in the draft and FA. We added six starters, none of whom is likely to be replaced: Trent Murphy and Bashaud Breeland via the draft and DJax, Jason Hatcher, Shawn Lavau, and Tres Way.

Morgan Moses and Spencer Long were developmental picks who could turn out well, Ryan Grant was a pleasant surprise who just needs to gain a little size and strength to become a valuable weapon, and we picked up a backup RB as a UDFA in Silas Redd.

That's pretty darn good, IMO. What if we were to pick up 10 more good players next season with 6 of them becoming starters? Shouldn't we be even better?
