Expect flurry of first-round draft trades

08:03 AM ET 04.14 | Stability at quarterback among teams picking in the back half of the draft is likely to directly affect the wheeling and dealing. Of the teams picking from 17-32 in the first round, the only team that really needs a quarterback is Seattle, which is picking 25th. The rest are all set, unless one of those teams plans to look for a quarterback of the future. The quarterback stability of the teams in those spots is why they are there. ... What that should do is set up what could be a wild ride at the back end of the first round, with a flurry of trades. The haves can make deals with the have-nots. "I still think as many as five quarterbacks go in the first round," an NFC general manager said. "You watch. Some of those guys will go late in the round when teams realize they won't all be there in the second, and they have to make moves to get them."

Since we're "set" at "quarterback" . . . what are the odds we trade down from 21 and pick up additional picks?

It's sad that the potential regression of a 28 year old QB due to lack of facetime with the QB coach is even a topic of discussion here.

4 OC's in 3 years?

Do us all a favor.

List all of your bullshit excuses in one post, instead of spacing them out here-and-there.

I'd agree.

But he's been starting for only a couple of years, so it's really like he's 25.

Does a QB have a better chance developing when he has one OC for a few years, or 4 in 3 years?

Does a QB have a better chance of developing when he has talent, or when he's a talentless POS?

3000 + yards with 27 TDs and 7 INTs, on a team with only 1 legitimate starting NFL receiver is good.

I'm sorry KC didn't take Sanchez or Clausen, but Cassel improved last year, despite having one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL. Give him some more weapons and his #'s and performance should continue to improve.

**DeezNutz** · 04-15-2011, 01:54 PM

I'm going to be interested to see the impact of the Weis-effect. Zorn is, by all accounts, a very talented QB coach, but how will Cassel perform with a play-caller who might not try to mask some of his weaknesses?

Didn't look good in '09, but if he's truly improved, we should still see a steady ascent.

I guess that's the nice way of saying the stats NJ posted are just the benefit of smoke and mirrors?

Because most OC's expose their QB's weaknesses and try not to play to their QB's strengths.

Most championship caliber QB's don't have enough weaknesses to handcuff their OC.

Guarantee it will be used at some point, by someone - if not many people - as an excuse.

Assuming there's a season, of course.

ok great but that is not what was happening there.

Did Jones and Battle retire when I wasn't looking? Jones is NOT a bad back.. he does however require some semblance of run blocking for him to be effective.. JC doesn't. Get a decent C and move Asamoah to a starting spot and Jones will be a FINE RB2 (at least for one more year).
