Not elite but he can get you to serious contender if you give him a running game and defense. He gives you a five year window which is plenty of time to find the future while (assuming) you are playing into January.
I like Stafford a lot (anyone that calls him mediocre looks at Lions W-L...does not watch their games), but there is no way I would trade a premium pick for him at his age. Moot point, unless the back is much worse that reported, he's in Detroit next year. He was having a career year before the injury and Patricia and the GM have to win next year or they're gone. They're not going to start a rebuild at QB in that scenario. They likely go OT or the CB from Ohio State if he can play the man coverage that Patricia likes.
Id put safety advice rb and cb. We've got backups right now, no starters. I like Row and Colbert, but we need two new safeties for depth and potential. Especially a high FS, round 3 or 4 would be good imo.
Not heavy enough on OL
Yes I thought that was the idea to load up on young talent and keep pressing that button at all positions until we hit a good starter [not I don't think we will draft all pro's with every high pick] so have a nucleus of a young talented squad to keep us in playoff contention for years to come. The only time I would deviate is for a short term vet as a stop gap ie OL [any one tell me if Williams from Washington is a chance to be picked up in FA and is he the type to teach young players like Fitz at QB?] while we groom his replacement. Sorry Stafford [back and age] I wouldn't waste resources on when we have Fitz.
I would take Stafford in miami. They try to trade for him 2 yr ago.
Adam like good veteran qb..
