As you guys have said I think in normal situations teams would have traded for all those players limiting what they would have to do in the draft. If they didn't get the QB they had hoped they would get then they would simply draft one.

With out teams being able to trade for a position of need then I think teams almost have to draft for a position of need because they don't know if later they will be able to pick up the QB they were interested in due to someone else offering more money and taking that option away.

In other words the draft was the last resort to fill spots that were not filled through FA. In this situation this year the rolls will be reversed I feel. Teams will have to draft to fill positions and "if" a player becomes available later in FA then they can add to the spot.
