A QB in round two wouldn't be that strange. It's not what I'd expect, but if their draft board tells PC/JS that a QB is the BPA at their selection, I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to pick him. Green Bay has used high draft picks on back-up QBs on multiple occassions.
ok so far consensus is bpa...but again, forget qb let's say bpa is a corner or say a safety, again do you take that player where you're already good? An earlier post said bpa based on team needs...ok that i can buy but just flat-out bpa regardless is a tough sell to me...
OK, I'll bite...if that corner or safety is a 1st round talent at #56 and fits our defensive scheme? Absolutely.
Ever notice that the Giants, Steelers, and Ravens seemingly just stockpile DL & LB regardless of their perceived needs? They seem to churn out front-seven Pro Bowlers on a consistent basis and account for a total of 6* Super Bowl victories since 2000 (I really don't think I need to explain the asterisk). Seems to be a pretty effective strategy to me.
No need to worry about overpaying talent when you're consistently bringing in new talent on the cheap. Take the best player available. If that talent happens to align with a perceived area of need, bonus. Never, ever, ever pass on elite talent in favor of an inferior player at a position of perceived need. Ever.
