First off, lets assume that we will make a hard run at a good starting QB for next year either in free agency, via a trade or in the draft.
Which of the following scenarios would you prefer?
Trade our first second round draft pick for McNabb- I would not be opposed to this deal. Yes, I am tired of trading for old QBs that are on borrowed time, but McNabb would be the best QB we have had since Marino. He is 31 years old so he should have at least 2 good years left in him and probably would play for 4 more years total. This would allow us to have a good QB while we develope another QB. He did have a few injuries last year yet he still managed to have a QB rating of 89.9.
Drafting Matt Ryan with our 1st round pick- This would be the worst move for us in my opinion. If we drafted Ryan with the 1st overall pick he would instantly become one of the top 10 NFL QBs in regards to salary. Is it worth all that money for an unproven player? There is also questions about how good he is. Last year Ryan did have weak WRs but he still did throw 19 interceptions. If we drafted him I don't think we would be getting the full value of the pick with players like Dorsey, Jake Long and Chris Long still on the board.
Giving up our 1st and 3rd round picks for Derek Anderson- This is the move I would love to make. We probably would be able to sign Anderson for the same amount of money as Matt Ryan. Anderson would come in and be our instant starter for at least 10 years (he is only 24 years old). We would have to give up a 1st and 3rd rounder but I would still do it in a second. This may be a bit far fetched but hear me out. If we trade our 1st overall pick to the Cowboys for both of their 1st round picks and a 3rd. We could send the Cowboys second 1st round pick (28th I believe) and their 3rd round pick for Anderson. If that dream scenario happened we would get Anderson and still have a 1st round pick (22nd I believe) and our 3rd round pick.
