My biggest concern with the QB position now is in having the best back-up that we can get. I think Campbell is that guy, but am worried that either Shanahan will 'give' him away for a meaningless pick, or Campbell strongly requests a trade to get away from DC.
A quality back-up QB is a huge 'need' for any team, but especially for us with an aging, injury prone McNabb, and a less than stellar offensive line.

In my opinion, a 3rd round pick is a quality pick where we can expect to get a starter, but when you get into the 4th or later rounds, we're dealing with back-ups and special teamers. Many teams will spend a 2nd or 3rd round pick just to get a quality back-up QB.
Shanahan should keep Campbell, and Jason should choose to stay here and compete.
