Quote:I think we should at some point try to spend a late draft pick on a guy we can develop and trade to some quarterback-needy team, like we did with Rob Johnson.   I think your backup QB should serve two functions: able to go in and play if need be and also an investment you can turn into more draft picks.  

 

The dream backup scenerio: one that is able to go in and play(effectively run the offense) if needed AND also be an investment that can turn into more draft picks.

 

Now that's a teams dream, as long as they already have their long-term starter.

 

I remember trading away Rob Johnson for the pick that turned into Fred Taylor.

 

Have the Jags ever been able to trade away another backup QB for a high draft pick? None come to my mind.

 

I mean a high draft pick, so please no mention of Gabby, even if you think a 6th rd pick was a HIGH pick for him.
