But... it's hard to imagine giving up a first day pick for a QB. Shit, w/ JC and Collins we've got two solid guys and look at the needs: at least 1 olineman (preferably 2), DT, WR, CB and possibly LB. I just don't see where we have room for a first day QB draft choice unless we work a deal giving up later round picks for another early one.

If we give up a first day pick (this year its 1st or second) on a QB, I'm going to be very upset. I do like the idea of drafting one in maybe the 4th or 5th round, and develop them under Zorn, but a first day pick would be insane.
As for an offensive lineman with the #21 pick...I can't say I would be overally excited about that, but I wouldnt hate it either. I would really like to address the areas of need with the first few picks (DL, WR, CB), and than start to get project players that we can develop. Alot depends on how long Buges decides to stay too, I am extremely impressed with his ability to coach up mid-late round talent (or undrafted talent as well). We do have to start thinking about replacing peices along the offensive line, perticularly with Jon Jansen. I really hope he has a few years left, but he has had some NASTY injuries and I think its going to be real tough to come back from them.
