Drafting a QB?

[FlyerSkin]

This draft is very deep in the positions we need on D to become contenders, we need to focus on that.

I'm not ruling out a trade to SF, I'm sorry but when there is that much smoke usually there is fire.. I also agree, if he walks after this yr, then what? We would be screwed

Then you deal with it next year. The 2018 QB draft should be better.

If KC wants to leave next year there is almost nothing you can do. The franchise tag would be over $30 million and the Skins cannot afford that. They have a few good players who will be free agents in 2018 too.

You're right. There is nothing that can be done if you wait and Kirk leaves next year. So why wait? Why not protect your interest now while there is still value to be had?

And who's to say next year's class is better? QB draft classes are like Monet's they look better from a distance.

Why wait ? again, because no one will give you much for a one year rental @ $25 million dollars. If they draft well they could be good next year, and there is a slight chance they can sign KC long term next off-season.

I would be shocked if any team is offering a high 2017 first now.... who knows ?

As opposed to not getting anything IF/When he walks next year.

Haven't the slightest clue to whether Kirk will sign or not. Based on the fact there is currently no deal when there should be if both parties wanted it......seems prudent to prepare for all contingencies.

I agree about being prudent. I think we should work Sudfeld out and see what he can do. I can also see a trade still on the table. There should have been a deal done already if it was really going to happen.

If they keep KC for 2017 they should get solid QB play for 1 year. If they trade him ?????.... a second or third round pick ? (you are not getting a first for a rental)

If KC walks in 2018 they actually get a compensatory pick - not sure which round, but probably a late third round pick.
