Teams looking for a young quarterback who is less expensive than Drew Brees might want to dial up James "Shack" Harris. At 57, the Jaguars' vice president of player personnel and former NFL quarterback isn't making a comeback, but he has a passer who could fill the bill. Jaguars backup David Garrard is able and available. The asking price for Garrard: a first-round draft pick.

Rob Johnson and Drew Bledsoe were steals, though.

Maybe Harris (who played at one time for the Bills) attended the PT Barnum school of team management ("A sucker is born every minute."). Garrard was considered an athletic but raw QB coming out of college, but IMHO doesn't have the mental sharpness to qualify as anywhere near a first round quality QB.

While I think Garrard looks to be a solid QB, he's injury prone. No way worth a 1st rounder. Ridiculous...

Well, they got a #1 for Rob Johnson once.

He was a 4th round pick and they want a 1st for him? Also he was born the same day as Drew and Jim.

James Harris has the strongest arm of any quarterback I have ever seen.

Well, since an injury-prone, middle-of-the-pack LT (read: Jonas Jennings) got $36 Million, almost anything seems possible.

Yeah but can he throw a ball 60 yards on his knees? :snicker:

They're looking for a first-day pick, not a first round pick. The story says first round but the player bio says first-day. I think first-day (meaning not first round) is closer to realistic. IMHO a 3rd or 4th rounder would be more like it.

Fri Feb 25 2005 - Jacksonville is hoping trade talk for Garrard will heat up at the scouting combine. Jacksonville would like to get a first-day draft pick for Garrard so it can avoid losing him for nothing in unrestricted free agency next winter. Several clubs could be interested, although a glut of veterans on the market could dampen Garrard's value. (Bart Hubbuch for TSN)
