Bring in new guys via the draft.

Scientifically assess your best chance of getting a top QB. As I mentioned in another thread, that may not be trading up to get the top prospects if you're giving up a ton of picks. You may be able to pour those picks into quarterbacks and sort them out until you get the right QB. But either way, invest draft picks into getting QB prospects that you can evaluate as you search for the right guy.

I agree mostly with this. I cannot stand to have Cassel in this line-up. He has a low enough cap number that teams may want to trade for him, especially teams that are looking for a stop gap if their young QB stumbles (Jax, Minn) or if they're looking for a relatively low priced backup. I can see no reason Orton would want to resign if you have Cassel as well. Palko brings nothing to the plate. He's not fighting for anything.

I would not overpay a first for a QB not rated that high, whether it be Tannenhill or Wilson.

I still cannot agree with trading the farm to get a top pick. If we are trading our top talent and leaving ourselves without picks to help this team for next two to three years, we quickly become the Colts. Difference is the Colts are who they are and still have their picks.
