Quote:QB is the biggest need on the team and Dave is a needs drafter, so to not come away with one in the first 64 picks would have to be considered a bit of a failure whoever you ask.


This is not to say its the end of the world and Caldwell needs to be chased out of town with pitch forks, but there are no two ways about it, its a position which has to be upgraded one way or another.

While I agree that the QB is this team's biggest need, drafting a QB is not the only way to solve that problem. Some teams decide to trade for a QB (eg Chiefs and Alex Smith), and there might be a few that might tempt Caldwell if he decides to focus on building the rest of the team in the draft. The likes of Cutler and Schaub might be available if their teams might decide to move on. By no means do I think that will happen, nor am I sure it is the 'right' way to go, but Caldwell could trade for a QB if he prefers to use his high picks to build up the supporting cast.
