I see them having him carrying the clipboard for at least 2 seasons. Finally the RIGHT way to bring on a QB.
Agreed 100%. And if Ramsey turns into the QB a lot of us think he could be, then a decision will have to be made on Campbell down the road.

... if Ramsey either goes down or fails to reach the next level, we are truly screwed. So now we've got QB depth. Hope it works out.
With all due respect, an untested rookie does not add any sort of meaningful depth. The only sort of "depth" that drafting another QB adds is providing another warm body to play in emergencies; we've already got two of those. If Ramsey gets hurt or "fails to reach the next level," can we really expect a rookie to step up and perform any better than the two other back-ups? Besides, aren't we already paying enough for "depth" with Brunell's contract?

We could've waited till the 4th round and taken Adrian McPherson. Who I am absolutely in love with. I think he made a mistake, but it's not that big a deal. This is weak.

What happens to Rod Gardner now? Should we keep him? We need a big WR, and he may be the best option left. Can we get a 3rd rounder next year for him?

WOW...with the guys still on the board, I really really wish we had a second round pick...

I really wish we had just stayed in the third round and not wasted 3 picks to move into the bottom of the first for a position we didn't even need.

I agree, actually. I was just trying to spin it from the FOs (twisted) perspective. Obviously, if PR goes down this year, it won't be Campbell. But the year after, if PR fails to grow, we might see Campbell. BUt I'm with you. I was pulling for a WR there...

I was thinking D End. However, they apparently don't like getting a pass rush from the front 4.

im not jumping ship, im just hella confused as to why we had to take a player at a position that isn't a big priority. why? if patrick is gonna be our starting quarterback, why take another one. we still need help at wideout. hasn't anyone thought what might happen if santana moss holds out during the regular season over his contract. maybe they are trying to motivate ramsey to be great during the season. maybe they are trying to trade ramsey. there were still some good receivers left in the draft. there were still some de's still available.

Campbell is a great qb. I think if this is the way we are going we need to trade Ramsey NOW. Commit to this change, and see if we can get a decent pick for Ramsey. Miami has a second now (from KC). Trade with them. NOW. Then trade Gardner for a 4th or 5th and start from scratch.
