Holy cow, I went to bb.com and I seen this post. It is rare when you see some good posts over there but this one wasn't bad. I think it might be missing some information but here it is:
(so I give credit the guys name is buffalobills backwards, in case you are on this board too)
The price of a rookie QB:
"1. Phillip Rivers = 1st round draft pick (13) + at least $8 million signing bonus + somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 million per for salary + passing on the chance to land a blue chip receiver or pass rushing DE. What you get - A winning quarterback at all levels, tough, has most of the tools you ask for in a QB. Only question - Arm strength
2. Drew Henson = a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick in 2005 + no signing bonus + an incentive based contract that doesn't have much cap penalty + the ability to keep the 13th pick in the draft. What you get - a project and a gamble, for being out of football for three years, for only playing in a handful of games, and the ever popular word potential. He does seem to have most of the tools you ask for in a QB, but that won't be known until he steps on the field. What you get - only time will tell if the physical and mental ability can transfer into the NFL.
3. JP Losman (or someone else like Harris) = a 2nd round pick in this years draft + a minimal signing bonus + salary. What you get - you take a shot on a QB that seems to have a lot of the potential but just needs to be refined or improved. Only question - Does he turn into the next middle round gem or another bust."
I would think it might be OK to add Patrick Ramsay somehow, even though I don't think the Redskins are trading him this year.
