I don't see Carl doing it. We know what he thinks of QBs. If football teams are cars, he thinks the QB is the gas cap. He thinks you win with Steve Deberg, Dave Kreig, a Montana who was long past his prime, Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac, Damon Huard... hell someone will probably have to hogtie him from bringing in pennington or mcnabb. The only reason we've ever had good QB play here in my lifetime was because Vermeil convinced him to bring in Green, right?
Carl doesn't think the QB position is worth anything. This explains continued failure since it's the most important position in football and is getting even more important by the year as the rules continue to get tougher on DBs and more protective of QBs and receivers.
We know Carl thinks QBs are an afterthought because he keeps bringing in veteran castoffs who are known sucky quantites. He doesn't see QBs as being able to lead teams or win games for them. He sees them as mistakes waiting to happen - so get someone who sucks, but won't drop the ball or throw too many interceptions.
I can't see Carl spending a pick this high on a QB. I could see him trading down to the middle of the first round and trying to get Brohm, maybe. I could see him picking another QB later in the draft. But I don't think he's willing to take a big risk on a position he doesn't value all that much.
