This is a move to win in the next 2 years with Shanahan. His history is with veteran QB, Elway was a veteran, he went to an AFC Championship game with Jake freaking Plummer.

This actually gives us MORE flexibility in the draft. If Okung is gone at #4 (which he probably will be) they can trade down without having to worry about going down too far and risk not being able to get a T or QB-now we just can focus on T and it also gives us the ability to trade Campbell for a 3, 4, or 5 rather than needing to hold out for a 2nd round pick we'd never get.

That my friend is optimism and I like it. I hope you're right.
