Drafting a QB?

Do you think the front office will and should draft a quarterback this draft?

If you think they will or should what round do you think they will select a quarterback?

Re: Drafting a QB?

Knowing how Dan and Bruce operate, I expect them to draft someone within the first 3 rounds. I wouldn't be shocked if they took someone in the first round since they have no inclination to sign KC to a long term deal.

I don't think any of these QB's are worthy of being 1st rounders. Tribisky? Give me a break. He couldn't beat out a running QB and had one good year. All of them are projects. I think if Kaaya gets with the right coach he could be a really good QB. He may be the only one who actually got under center and ran a pro offense.

No, he will not play this year and it is a weak QB draft.

Re: Drafting a QB?

If Trubisky is there at 17, it is tempting.. If we don't draft a QB, u would think KC will get a long deal

Re: Drafting a QB?

I guess it depends on whether or not they feel they have something in Sudfeld and/or how long they think McCoy will be around. He's 30 years old, I know it is not old for a QB, but who knows.

I doubt they'd draft someone in the first three rounds. Too many needs elsewhere to spend on a QB. Unless someone really good drops in the draft.

Re: Drafting a QB?

caveat emptor:

I am genuinely interested in what people think about the current QB situation in relation to the draft.

It is my nature to ask questions, hopefully there can be discussion.

Re: Drafting a QB?

To me the unsettled nature of Kirk's long term contract is the key factor.

I think if a long term contract was possible they would have done it by now.

I can't imagine a worse scenario then to lose Kirk next year and start brand new at QB in 2018.

What if they aren't able to get a long term deal done with Kirk? What happens at QB then?

This is close to what I think. Based on where they are now with Kirk's contract it seems smart for the FO to have viable contingency plans at the QB position.

then you draft a QB in 2018 and have him compete with Colt for the starting job. And save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for other free agents

Drafting a QB?

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.

Re: Drafting a QB?

Hate to say it but if a long term contract isn't attainable with Cousins then I would trade him to the highest bidder for picks...

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.
