Again, the Brees/Rivers thing was a good problem to have. Having Brunell as a backup doesn't give us much options in the coming years and Joe Gibbs himself says the #1 most important position on the team is the starting QB, and the #2 is the Backup QB...

I also think, if we hadn't already spent all of our picks, and were in a position to make a move we should.... but thats completely hypothetical and doesn't matter because we are not in a position to do so and would give up entirely too much if it were calling for movement up to #1 to take him...

But... what if he falls to #4, and we could give up Adam Archuletta, Sean Springs, and our #6 pick to move up to take him... and somehow get dre bly in the process... would we do it?

I don't even think they should pick him at #6(Unless it's to trade him)...they already drafted a #1 QB and paid a steep price to move in to position to take him. JC has shown nothing to warrent giving up on him so soon.

And as far as Russell goes...throwing the ball 100 yards with the flick of a wrist does not make him a great NFL QB...he is far from a sure thing. Two words...Jeff George
