People keep saying it's a "deep" draft so you would think (I do) there's at least one player that is worth the 1.1 pick. All it takes is one team to have the itch, to see future greatness in a player and go for it (trade up)...

Trading down but staying in the top 10 would probably make taking a QB more.... palatable.... Seems to me, QB's taken in round 1 seem to have the highest bust rate. I don't have any stats or anything but it just seems that way. By trading down, at least one could avoid having a 1.1 (QB) bust. Bortles, Manziel, Bridgewater..... there are no guarantees. One or more could be the next Jamarcus Russel/Gabbert/Leaf, etc. Other positions aren't guaranteed either but I think you have a better chance at a solid player at minimum... I think Mack, Clowney, Mathews - all meet this minimum requirement.

I only mentioned Clowney because his name is usually the one that comes up, i.e. soup-of-the-day. Should have included "or other non-QB".....

So, to rephrase, I guess there are 3 choices:

1. Draft a QB at 1.1

2. Draft a non-QB at 1.1

3. Trade down and pick whoever you want.
