I'm the wrong guy to ask because I'm not in favor of that. Bob can chime in since I'm pretty sure he was banging the Jake Mathews drum on here somewhere.

I'm of the opinion that sustained success only comes if you have one of the top 10 QBs. Anything less than that and best case scenario, we're back to where we were in 2011 and 2012. Good enough to get in if our running game and defense are clicking but not a tremendous threat to go the distance. So we must do everything in our power to get one, which pretty much means staying put at No. 1 and taking the best QB.
