Together, yes they are valuable. Again, I misread your original post. Because, to me, Oher at 13 (as an example) and staying pat with our picks otherwise is better than Sanchez at 13 and trading Campbell for a 4th. And depending on where he went, a 3rd and a 4th..[quote]
I agree with you... IF the skins think Campbell or one of the QBs in next years draft can become our franchise QB. If Sanchez is more likely to be a franchise QB, then Sanchez and the 3rd and 4th rounders become more valuable than Campbell and Oher. It all depends on who we think the franchise QB is. It is very important that we make the right choice. If we pass up on Sanchez and Campbell fails, then we're back to square one again.

That's irrelevant really, because the fact is they had a 2nd and 4th round pick to work with. You can't screw up a draft pick if you don't even have a pick to begin with.

All that was said in the context of you refuting my statement about how the colts built their franchise. I was simply contrasting the quality of the 1997 Colts team with their 1998 picks to our 2008 team and 2009 picks. The Colts built their franchise by drafting a franchise QB and then - over the course of a couple years - putting the right pieces in place around Manning for the team to become an annual contender.

I'm not even sure why we're making the comparison to the Colts in the first place, quite honestly

It was just one example of how a franchise QB can turn a team around. Other than the Patriots, most teams acquire the franchise QB BEFORE getting all the other pieces in place. We have a step up on most franchises - we're already average. We just need a franchise QB.

Competition did wonders for our punting game last year. Just because Jansen and Heyer are fighting it out doesn't mean those are the best options.
|
Not the best, but better. We cant have the best of everything. As i said earlier, if Campbell our franchise QB, we should focus on OL, DL, and LB with our first pick. If not, QB becomes our priority and Sanchez merits strong consideration.

But is the answer Mark Sanchez...especially when we have Funkmaster Colt?

LOL... i think...

I honestly don't have a problem with Sanchez (though if we're going to "reach" give me Beanie Wells), but I would want a lot more picks (2nd, 3rd, and 4th) if we're going to go in that direction...but just think of the international appeal of Sanchez vs. Romo (games will be Live on Univision!)
But wait...Sanchez has been busted in the past for underage drinking (he must be an alcoholic, call Jay Cutler and get them to AA...stat!)
Lol
Seriously though...get a haircut
