If you are the new regime you don't hang your hat on a weak ass QB draft class, neither do you hang your hat on your previous QB roster. So AS was the best option. I don't like it anymore than you but look at the reality of it.
You just have to get over the fact that we had the No.1 pick with no Andrew Luck or RGIII available for us to take. I get it but you don't force a square peg in a round hole when all signs show there are more likely square pegs than round pegs to choose from.

To see how a good organization deals with no QB prospects in the draft does it, see Seattle Seahawks. They signed a pathetic Tavares Jackson to go through the motions while drafting superbly for the future. Next year, they found their franchise QB in the 3rd round.
THAT is how it's done. You don't trade 2 2nd round picks for a placeholder QB. You build with your 2nd round picks and stay patient until a draft comes alone where you can get a franchise QB.
Short term panic-thinking will screw you every time. They guys with long vision and strategy build champions.
