I thought they'd draft a QB, but you don't draft a position just to draft a position.Short of adding a QB the next best thing is helping the QBs you have. And, as much as I love Helu, I think Matt Jones will be way better for this team than Helu ever was

I liked Helu for lot of reasons. I didn't like Helu for lots of reasons. Ultimately, he is a nice back up but nothing more. Lots like him out there.
As for the QB, this draft had zilch beyond the first two that warranted much of any consideration. Can see McC considering one each round and saying, "Nope, much better value, bigger need with [INSERT NAME]". Sure, it would have been fine to pick one up, but who? when?

For sure in regards to replacing helu. But more interested if Matt jones can be better for the skins than Alfmo.
We needed a back that can block, Jones seems to be that guy. And if he ends up being the eventual successor for Morris, that's not a bad thing either.

It's possible. I'm not the biggest Alfmo fan though

I think we will need both to play a large role as we transition into a power back running game. Alfmo has got alot of carries in a short amount of time.

Here's the other angle on drafting a QB, which of our current three QBs do you jettison? The knee jerk answer is Colt McCoy but are we sure he can't be considered a developmental guy himself?
He was our most successful QB last year.

McCoy was not our most successful QB last year. Yeah he played in two games that were won. I'll give him that. He played a good 2nd half against Dallas. But KC had the highest level of play against Jacksonville and Philly. He clearly ran the offense better than the other two when he was on.

um, take your pick?
also, i think calling jones a alfmo replacement at this point is probably premature. he's here to block on 3rd downs and work short yardage. his vision isn't good, so he has things to work on and i don't think he's really ready, but who knows.
