Why spend the pick on a QB when there are bargains to be had! The next Tyler Thigpen is sitting out there, I promise! Or the next Brodie Croyle! Or the next Ricky Stanzi! Or the next James Kilian! There has to be a Jeff Smoker out there somewhere!

Yeah, let's keep being the bargain basement team. Why use the #1 pick at all? Let's just trade out of there and avoid that potential big mistake that'll set the franchise back for a decade (I ain't never heard of this thing called 'the CBA'). Let's collect a bunch of middle round picks so we can get more 'guys' to drool over on the practice squad for the next three years until they're cut. Maybe we can find some more training camp hero quarterbacks that don't actually ever do anything in training camp or on the field in the NFL. Guys who might be real stars if only they got a chance, golly gee whiz.
