But I think because QBs are such a premium position, they are likely to go very early, which means those teams in the middle of the pack who still need a QB will have to give up more for that desperation trade up.  Since there is this gulf between Trask and the upper tier QBs, and the teams ahead of them have already met their QB needs in many instaces, they could wait for him to fall some and save draft capital, if they decide to not wait a year for their QB.

We'll just have to wait and see. With teams like the Jets, Houston, Carolina, Denver, San Francisco, New England, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis and possibly New Orleans, Atlanta and Dallas all targeting a new QB and many being able to acquire one via a trade or free agency, this is gonna be very interesting.

Regarding the QB position, I've never seen an offseason like this, even if nobody else gets traded.

I've never heard so many reports and rumors of good experienced signal callers potentially being traded, or, in the case of Brees and Rivers, retiring.

I wonder how much of this talk is driven by the possibility of a reduced salary cap, and how much is based upon the age of the QBs involved.
