Tank? Oh no, of course not! But we'll just continue to play Beck and a bunch of rookies on offense and we'll see what happens.

Brilliant - playing Miami and Seattle will be great ways to fix our future.

As has been stated, here's a general draft order visually:


1 Colts 0-9 -- NEED QB, PROBABLY LUCK
2 Dolphins 1-7 -- NEED QB - probably Barkley or Jones
3 Rams 1-7 -- probably stick with Bradford
4 Cardinals 2-6 -- probably stick with Kolb
5 Seahawks 2-6 -- NEED QB - probably Barkley or Jones
6 Jaguars 2-6 -- probably stick with Gabbert
7 Panthers 2-6 -- will stick with Newton
8 Vikings 2-6 -- probably stick with Ponder
9 Browns 3-5 -- probably stick with Colt McCoy
10 Redskins 3-5 -- NEED QB - ?? RG3
11 Broncos 3-5 -- NEED QB

If the Colts take LUCK, then L.Jones, Barkley and R.Griffin would be left for the rest. Suspect the dolphins and seahawks will end up drafting higher than us. The Broncos are a toss-up. Suspect we will win a couple of more games given our good (if inconsistent) defense, which would effectively place us at drafting the 4-5th QB off the board. Every draft there are surprises (Heyward Bey @ 7, Ponder @ 12, etc) - so there's always a chance.

So basically, R. Griffin (RG3) -- is he be worth a #6-10 pick? Walter Football is already predicting RG3 for us. I personally think he's not right for our Shanahan system, he's probably a bust and I hate running QB's in a spread college system. But his highlight reel this year has been impressive, accuracy as high as 85%, at one point more TDs than incompletions.

Hate to think we're "competing" for these QB's, but certainly our future is not with Beck, so we NEED to get a QB through the draft or FA next year. Matt Flynn is also rumored to be a possibility, not sure if that's a good idea either.
