Would I be ok with signing Flynn and drafting a developmental QB in the draft.
See, there are two issues I have with the "signing flynn" portion of this.
1) Is he even better than the guys we have?
2) What type of coin is he wanting?
Flynn was graded as a low end QB, in the draft, based on his skills and collegiate performance. I personally think the guy has just flourished in the current system he's in and will most likely end up being the type of QB he was graded as. (low end) That's just my opinion. He very well could be the next coming of Tom Brady, but you won't know that until he plays in another system with different players.
I would be fine with bringing Flynn in only if the contract was modest and he actually beat the competition in training camp. I'm not willing to say "let's bring this guy in as the unquestioned starter".

Let me try to help out with your issues here:
1. Is he better than Beck and Grossman? He is clearly better than Beck even though Flynn has only been in a handful of games. I think he is better than Grossman because he has not shown any proclivity to turn the ball over with INTs or fumbles. Grossman does that about twice a game...
2. What type of coin is he wanting? The answer is very simple. He wants as much as his agent can squeeze out of a team. If there are multiple teams that want his services, that can lead to a bidding war; if there is only one interested "buyer" for his services, then the single buyer has a ton of leverage. My guess is that he gets a fat deal...
