Quote:Trade down, stack picks in the first 5 rounds. Plenty of starters are available and this roster needs plenty of guys. Guys like Gratz, Sanders and Shorts are the benchmark of what we can get in the mid rounds.

 

The problem with most fans is we think that we need an "Elite QB" to win. We don't. Look at the last few Superbowls...

Wilson - Not Elite

Peyton - Elite

Kaep - Not Elite

Flacco - Not Elite

Eli - Not Elite

Brady - Elite

 

Elite or not it doesn't matter, you need to build a team to win and to do this you either need incredible luck or you need plenty of draft picks and plenty of cheapish FA's. Sure having a guy like Brady or Manning or Rodgers helps but these guys don't grow on tree's and we don't need one of them.

 

I've said it elsewhere but getting 10 picks in the first 5 rounds would be awesome. Mayock said this years top 20 is like last years top 10 so trade down to the teens, grab some extra picks for it and we'll still be getting a top level player.
 

Flacco and Elite may not be elite consistantly. But that played at above an elite level for their 4 game playoff run. So your point doesnt really make sense. You need elite QB play in the playoffs. Wilson is borderline, he makes special plays average QBs cant.
