Everybody here has already acknowledged the FACT that there might not be a QB good enough to draft #1 overall.

The problem is that there isn't any other player, at any other position, that's good enough to draft #1 overall either.

Unless you want a DT.

I've never suggested that YOU were too scared. I'm pretty sure I knew where you stand, even before you posted it in the above.

All I'm saying is that I've considered the possibility that you raised...

And I've dismissed it. There is no other suitable course of action.

I appreciate that you're seeing all sides to this debate.

I did the same awhile ago. I came to the conclusion that this team doesn't ****ing need all those extra picks. What we need is a GM who knows how to ****ing draft. If Tyson Jackson, Dexter McCluster, Jon Baldwin, Tony Moeaki, or even ****ing Gabe Miller were any good at all, absolutely nobody would think we have a lack of talent on this team. If you hit on 2 or more of your draft picks per year, you're doing an above average. We haven't had one of those drafts since 2008, and thanks to Pioli all of those players are leaving.

So you're right. We need the QB, and we should stay at #1 and draft that guy. What you're not considering when you're weighing the options is if we even need all those draft picks if we could just bring in a GM who acquires talent through the draft like a competent talent evaluator should.

It doesn't matter whether you've considered it and dismissed it. It exists.

You can't use the word FACT and "might" in the same sentence, because then its not a FACT.

I don't understand why Geno is so disrespected, but the talking heads all loved Tim Couch, David Carr, and Russell

And I've acknowledged it exists.

So what's the problem again? :D

Jeff George and Ryan Leaf too

Has a team picking first overall ever willingly traded out of the pick when they needed a qb?

No, the possibility that none of the QBs in this draft are worth a #1 overall pick is a FACT. There might not be one.

What experts are you talking about? Guys like Kiper LOVED Jamarcus Russell, thought he was one of the best prospects EVER. Kiper is one of the ones trying to tell everyone there's no elite QB in this draft.

San Diego

San Diago and they too Brees in the 2nd

The only trades I can remember that included the #1 overall pick involved QBs.

San Diego didn't trade the pick. They took Eli Manning and then traded his rights to the Giants and took Phillip Rivers.

Two sentences fixes the problems.

My point about Geno is just what you said. Russell is the best ever, but Geno isn't worth the pick. I don't trust them, or really care what they think.

Read his post again. He's saying he doesn't understand why a guy like Kiper thought Jamarcus Russell was phenomenal, but thinks Geno Smith isn't worth the high pick.

I'm talking about the 2001 draft when SD traded down from the 1st pick, which was Vick to take LT. Then they drafted Brees
