The whole notion is completely out of the realm of possibility. You're not using your top two draft picks on QBs when your OL is a disaster and you have so many other holes on the roster all in the hope that maybe someday you could get an equivalent draft pick back.
If they draft a QB it is going to be late in the draft.
We took defensive linemen 3 years in a row speaking of terrible use of resources.
Jimmy G isn't signed long term. We would be covering ourselves incase he leaves or isn't the chosen one.
Our Oline will be much improved with better QB play and a free agent starter.
I'm not saying we will do it but it's no different than the Pack taking Rodgers and letting him sit for 3 years.
Don't think you're you are going to get many people to agree with you on drafting a QB with our #1 pick. The consecutive picks of 3 d lineman are way different, because you are always playing 3-4 linemen at a time. You only NEED one franchise level Qb to be successful in today's NFL. This is not the dynasty Niners, pre cap era when we could have a Steve Young backing up Joe Montana. This also isn't a situation where we have an declining star at QB who needs have a successor. Sorry, but I don't buy your reasoning at all.
