I don't know about that... The draft has some very good QB's and even ignoring the draft I look around and I don't see many teams where JC would be welcomed aboard as a starting QB.... So IMO a 2nd round pick is not going to happen.
Do you sit Josh Freeman for JC? No, Gerrard? Don't think so, Maybe Buffalo is interested, but surely that would be an "open to competition" situation right? Raiders? No chance, Gradkowski already looks better than Campbell. San fran Alex Smith looks very good so no chance... Does Denver sit Orton for Campbell? No way... Quinn? Nope Quinn has way more upside, Detroit? Not Stafford No. . Henne looks better and has upside... Cassels... of course not not with the big contract. Seriously I don't think JC is a CLEAR upgrade for any team in the league besides POSSILBY Buffalo and that's a situation where they ALREADY have a young QB they invested in and would at best be an open competition with Campbell being the underdog... Hesselback? No, Vince Young? LOL yeah right... Delhomme maybe competition there with the incumbent having the advantage and a big contract... Cutler... maybe if they hadn't paid so much for him they're pretty stuck with him. Maybe I'm missing someone obvious but I don't see a team that FOR SURE even offers Campbell a fair shot at the starting position based on camp and preseason... Except the Redskins... Even his BEST prospect is competing with a high draft pick.
The Skins need to draft a potential franchise QB with the understanding that he wont play the first season at least. and offer Campbell a fair shot to compete for starting QB next season... With an open competition between Bartel, Campbell and Brennan... I can't be the only one who wants to See Bartel... Parcells finds better undrafted and late round QB's than most teams do with high draft picks. Unfortunately unless someone steps up next season, or the draft pick pulls a Rothlesberger and beats the other three out in spectacular fasion, then next season is a throw away year.
Speculating Mike Vick may be (for some teams) a more exciting possibility than Campbell... I think with Snyders facination with big names the Skins might even be interested. I like Vick's prospects to be a featured wildcat QB, for a team willing to try to run the cat 40 or 50% of the downs... No ones going to bring Vick in to be a conventional QB, but a GM/Coach with some creativity could build an unconventional offense around Vick...
