Although Rex seems like the safe pick, I also think he's in a position to make him the #1 FA QB available. That said, I don't think any team will break the bank for him, so if we want to, we should be able to resign him.
Personally, i think we should trade whatever we have to to get Luck. Seriously, the dudes going to be one of the best QBs ever. I'd trade our 1st and 2nd this year, plus our 1st rounders the next two years to move up 5-6 spots to get him.

I think we will be closer to the 11th spot. Right now the standings are:
Car 2-12
Cinci 3-11
Den 3-11
Buff 4-10
Det 4-10
Az 4-10
Min 5-9
Houst 5-9
SF 5-9
Clev 5-9
Wash 5-9
Dal 5-9
Draft ties are decided by strength of schedule(weakest schedule goes first), and we and Dallas had the strongest schedules out of this group. Carolina, Denver and Cincinatti are guaranteed to be ahead of us, since they at worst would tie us. So our absolute best draft spot is number 4, if we lose both games, and everyone else wins out. Dallas will likely beat Arizona, so Arizona will be below us. Anyway, if it were held today we would pick either 11th or 12th.
I don't know these qb's, so I can't say much about who we should get, but over 8th position it's going to be hard to jockey around enough to get any of the top qb picks (unless they free fall like last year)
