Screw that You might as well just cough up what it takes to get Mariota/Winston since we're going to be within striking distance. I don't really care for Hogan at all and there's no guarantee that we'll be in position to draft someone like Cook or Hackenberg next year. I agree 100%. I would move up for Mariota in a minute but why would two teams with as bad of options at QB as us want to move down? Look at KC. They have a deep and talented team with a game manager QB. Can't even get in the playoffs. If they had a legit QB, they would contend for the SB. Even when they had the easiest schedule in the league last year, they didn't do away in the playoffs. In this day and age, without a true star at QB, our ceiling is Herm Edwards Jets. Face it, we aren't winning the division until SparklePony retires. So we need to find or QB now and develop him so when the time comes, we can step up and own the division. It's true, game manager qb's keep coaches in their jobs for a few years but no longer win Super Bowls, they're just background noise in the playoffs talking about "this year is a stepping stone, next year we are going to contend "

The alternative is to do what Lovie Smith and Tampa are doing. Draft a new LT and G. Play them immediately. Start Geno. Suck. If Cook or Hagan are franchise QBs, take one. If not, rinse repeat. Signing Danials is a great idea if you are a playoff team and need a back up. Bringing him in as the guy is only going to keep your team out on the playoffs and prevent you from sucking enough to get a real QB. I agree with this if Winston doesn't fall to 4-6. It's the only way to go. Draft OL and draft a long shot in the middle rounds. Keep doing it until North Korea invades. Rakeem Cato is a good boom or bust QB choice. Right now he is forecasted as a later round or undrafted, however, I think once the nfl scouts take a closer look, he will be a mid round selection.

Daniel is starting Sunday for KC
It should be noted(for those interested in Daniel, if there are any other than me) that he is under contract with KC past this year and would require a trade, and may not be available to begin with.

Now that Mariota (and Cook) are unikely... I'd try to get one of these guy - Dalton, Bradford, Foles, or Locker, If you protect these guys, they can each be serviceable + show upside.
