...Even McCoy, who I see as someone who could perform like Alex Smith if he continues to develop over time. So if we were to draft a QB I figure we'd need to cut one of the three (or trade one for below market value). I didn't see anybody in this draft, besides the top two guys, who have significantly more upside than any of our guys. So to me the pick would have been a little bit wasted that way.
You'd be hard pressed to find someone on this board who thinks higher of Colt McCoy then me. And yes drafting a QB would likely mean letting one of our stable of 3 QBs go which I would be fine with...QBs come and QBs go.
For me its not about degrees of upside in comparison to what we have because the draft is crap shoot you just never know. The QBs in this draft could all suck or not. For me its about process and QB development in a WCO system. I like the way Ted Thompson, Reid and Holmgren and now McCarthy approached the QB position via the draft they take (waste) at least 1 every draft.

I liked all of our picks.
In a vacuum I like all our picks. I really like the Spaight kid. I would have liked to see us come away with a QB and a TE. I like the Boyle from Delaware. Hopefully(but I would prefer not to live on hope but..) Paulsen can have a throw back/bounce back year. I've always viewed him as a poor mans Witten but last year his play slipped as a receiver and as a blocker. I like Niles and applaud his commitment to getting bigger but when it comes to blocking at the point of attack he's still a rocked up WR in my eyes.
