SI: Top Vet QB pickups

[Nublar7]

He ranked them from 1 to 9.

3. Gus Frerotte, Miami -- His relationship with former Vikings offensive coordinator -- who's now with the Dolphins -- Scott Linehan sealed the deal. Count on him to push starter A.J. Feeley in the season's first half.

Other notable ones:

5. Jay Fiedler, Jets -- You can't ask him to win games for you, but he usually doesn't lose games, either. And when you're only trying to upgrade at No. 2 from Quincy Carter, Fiedler is a step in the right direction.

7. Kelly Holcomb, Buffalo -- This one didn't get much attention, but he gives the Bills a backup who can light it up on any given Sunday. Just don't count on him for 16 games.

Also, here is Banks opinion on Surtain:

No way should Miami settle for anything lower than a first-day draft pick for cornerback Patrick Surtain. And if I'm Kansas City, with its crying need for an upgrade in the secondary, I'm paying that price in a heartbeat. The potential trade recently became even more of a no-brainer for the Chiefs when they were awarded a 2005 third-round compensatory pick for losing offensive tackle John Tait to Chicago in free agency last year.

I don't see why they don't just give us the 2nd round pick for Surtain. Really. They have a horrid defense, and CB's like Surtain aren't found everywhere.

We should recieve a first for Patrick.

YOU CANT TRADE THE TRUTH!!!!

I'd rather be able to trade Madison, and keep Surtain. Or just keep Surtain! But Saban want's draft picks and it has looked, up until recently, that Surtain was sure to go for a 2nd. Now it's a 1st day pick, somewhere.

Surtain is best CB in football

Why is the media so enthralled with Warner and Garcia....however good they once were, these guys are scrubs now...Warner breaks down half way thru the season and Garcia is a has-been that never was ??? I just don't see either of these guys making a significant difference with their teams this year.

He is in the top list of CB, but he isnt the best CB.

who do think is the best?

To tell you the truth i really dont know who the BEST CB is, but i know Surtain fits in there. With these rules there cant really be the best CB out there.

...Fiedler usually doesnt lose games for you.....um what Jay Fiedler are we talking about? The one we had certainly lost a bunch of games. I hope Curtis Martin stays healthy because you know Pennington is going down for at least a few games and if they have to rely on Fiedler the playoffs are a crapshoot.
KC needs a reality check. If they dont get Surtain their defense is terrible and they have no shot. Lets see a 3rd round rookie that wont play or a guy that gives you a shot at being a legit contender? If they dont do that trade by draftday the GM should be shot, drawn and quartered, then his remains should be buried on 4 different continents and packed with salt.

 

[chambers09]

why should we lose like 1/4 of who makes the defence. our defence is like top three in the nfl and if we get rid of surtain well be like 12th

ahhh ok I just read the qb one :cry: stupid me.

Anyways I think warner belongs in front of ferrote.

I agree that Warner and Garcia are washed up and are living on their names alone. If KC does not pony up a first day pick by draft day, we should keep surtain for one more year or restructure his contract. Of course, I have no idea where we would get the money for the signing bonus he wants. At last we actually got some good props for a QB pickup.
