Good post phinsfan. I don't see us trading up to pick a qb. I don't see us trading down early. We might trade down as the draft approaches #15 but it would be silly to do that if the guy will fall to us. However, if he is available at 15 then we should take him.
Now I wonder what Aqua and others would say if we traded down and did not get him and then he turns into the next Marino. Just curious.
