To each his own but that means that you have to get a QB in the rookie draft basically.
If you want anyone who could admirably fill in for Favre in the FA draft you'd have to do it in the first 3-4 rounds or so likely. So thats would mean 2 of your first four picks on FA.
Which means you undoubtedly go to the draft, and that means you're hoping that not only can you grab the top passer out of this draft, but that he'll start this rookie season and perform out of the usual rookie QB stance or else next year that position will be hampered.

I'm glad I had a board philosophy done, because I almost missed my pick and was looking at RB's, but didn't see any left that I liked in the 2nd, so i referred to the board and grabbed the 'best available'...
Saturday was the only guy who had 10's across the board.

yeah but everybody thought that he would slow down last year but he still makes the probowl... Honestly, if Taylor was on any other team but Jax, it is a bad pick. However, because of there style of offense I think its a great surprise pick. However he probably could have been had in the 3rd.

Thanks Sledge. I think Having Favre at $7.8 mil will guarantee healthy QB production, (no injuries, top 5 QB at #17), and finding a good up-n-comer QB will be a good value for next year, while unloading a TON of cap room next year.
Saturday is going to anchor my O Line for the next 3 years. He's only 31 and he's still the most dominant interior lineman in the game.
I'll take it...I give myself a B+, only because I really wanted Addai, but Saturday is a good trade-off option.:thumbsup:
