Drafting a QB?

[MTK]

I can't see taking a QB before round 5. Take one early on and they're pretty much setting up a season full of stupid drama.

Isn't a little drama (who are kidding drama is the norm here) worth protecting the team if/when Kirk walks?

I just can't get comfortable with Kirk not having a long term contract yet. It seems like the possibility of Kirk walking is real. And it only seems prudent to be prepared.

If they actually want to keep Kirk, don't draft a QB at all this year. We already have a good backup and a project qb. You just have to risk it and hope you can sign him by July 15th.

If you don't want to keep him, draft Watson if he's available at 17 or Nathan Peterman if available in round 3. Otherwise wait till next draft or possibly take another late round flyer like Sudfeld.

That's my thought process.

I would just wait til next draft to get a QB. Like you said draft one now and the media will be all over it and it will make for a rather messy situation. If Kirk has any real inkling of staying here, that kind of drama will be rather bad. The qb crop this draft isn't so hot. I am glad there is no real hype being generated like with RG III, Manziel, Young, etc. I think some of those guys will pan out, but won't be the next Peyton or Tom.
