We might suffer for it next year but shoring up the QB position ala NE and Indy should be priority number one for the health and future of this franchise. It would be highly controversial but if they have serious doubts about Campbell then drafting a QB if he falls is not crazy but thinking ahead. If they are really confident in Campbell there is zero need and they won't do it unless we don't get any acceptable offers for the pick in terms of value. We must all face the fact that if Campbell doesn't pan out we are sunk. I for one think we should always draft BPA until we KNOW we have a real QB.

But that would be repetitive. Everyone was so shocked when we gave Brunell all that money and still went out and traded multiple draft picks to move up to get Campbell in the first round. Brunell was a proven starter in the league at that time, plus we had Ramsey, and yet we still got Campbell b/c we needed a future (Ramsey was a Spurrier/Snyder pick, Gibbs was never sold on him). I think the coaches are now confident in JC. Signing a young, effective backup wouldn't be a bad idea in the near future, but taking another QB in the 1st round would be a waste. If we did, it would be the 3rd time in 6 years. No one does that, especially a team with as few draft picks as the Skins.
