For anybody wondering what other coaches and general managers are saying about picking a quarterback in the draft, check out these tidbits from their press conferences.
It was quarterback smokescreen day:
Lovie Smith said the team will
consider a signal-caller at pick #7. (Translation: Trade with us!)
<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">
Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer said the team
could throw a "curveball" at the position.
<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">
<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">And
Bills coach
Doug Marrone admitted that the
Bills could go in any direction at quarterback in 2014 in free agency or the draft. Not a good sign for
EJ Manuel.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">Not a smokescreen:
The Bears talked about drafting a quarterback to back up
Jay Cutler if
Josh McCown bolts.
<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">
<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">"With the supply and demand at quarterback, Carson (Palmer) at least puts us in the position where you don't have to force, and when I say force, you're sitting at 20 or wherever we are in the draft, and feel like we have to have one," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said.
