ok, i really hate to hear this "we shouldn't take a QB #1, we should take a WR and OL"
Do the people who post these things realize that we haven't taken a QB above the 6th round since Marino? We SHOULD have taken one 2 years before he retired, but instead we sat on our hands...and here we are.
Tell me, why after we've neglected to use a decent draft pick on the position for the last TWENTY YEARS would you even consider supporting passing it up?
We have a legititmate shot this year at a franchise QB. Manning, Roth, or Rivers all show potential. Lossman to a less extent, but he could be good down the road as well.
Use the #1 pick on an OL or WR? Consider this. In 2 years our defense will fall apart. It will cost too much, and players will get too old. At which point we're going to be forced to build our team around our young offense (chambers, ricky, McMichael). And we do NOT have a QB. Between now and then unless there is a block buster trade, we will NOT have a QB for them. We NEED to draft one now, so we can groom them to be ready when the time comes. Yeah we need an OL and WR now. We have a young O-line, and both of those can be adressed in the FA and later rounds. We'll be hard sought to find a franchsie QB in the FA with this years picks. oh and by all means bring in brunelle. But draft a rookie as well. he's good for another 2-3 years, then we'll be caught with our pants down.............again.

), but we sure as heck better hire a QB coach and one that teach mechanics if we draft him #1
