Just go ahead and take a QB from a weak class.  You can't afford to pass.

In the case of Leftwich, it cost selecting Roethlisberger the following year.  The same situation we may be facing if we reach for a QB with pick #3 this year.

 

Take a QB this year.  Even two if you like.  But rest assured there will likely be a much better selection of QBs to choose from next year.

 

That's why I believe the wisest move would be to look for a QB in the second or third, and pick up another developmental QB later between 5-7 or UDFA.

 

The thing about "needing" a QB, is that it is never "now or never."  You get to draft players every year.  No one is stopping you from taking a QB.  You can't fear passing on a guy who you don't feel is the right value.  That causes you to choose guys from the above list instead of Wilsons and Kaepernicks.  Have the stones to pass if the value isn't right.  You will find one as long as you do your homework and don't panic reaching for a "must have" QB that's not really so "must have" after all.
