Question about this and any other potential QB prospects: what's the highest pick you see Ted using on this position? He's stated in the past that BPA has some flexibility, specifically mentioning the QB position.

Its a pick that you hope never sees the field, but probably represents the most important true back up on your team.

The best case scenario is you find yourself with a guy even better than Flynn, and you're able to trade him before he hits FA. Even if a first-round pick is possible, it would probably be at least three years away. How many teams would trade a 2012 R3 for a 2015 R1?

Do you think this affects how and where he addresses the QB position?
I hope Wilson makes it, but who is the last QB under 6' to make it in the league as a starter? I know Brees is 6' and is often compared to Wilson, but Wilson is still an inch and a half shorter than Brees. Not saying Wilson can't make it, but there is a reason their aren't any starting QB's under 5'11". Still, I'm hoping TT can get him for a 5th-6th round pick. It'd be fun to see him develop into AR's backup and hopefully one day get a gig as a starter.

Its an interesting question to ponder. What is the actual reason that there aren't any shorter QBs ? One of the comments from Wilson was that he was successful behind the mammoth line of the badgers, with guys at 6'6" and above

Arizonaโ€™s Nick Foles: Great size (6-5, 243) and good arm strength but doesnโ€™t play fast. The NFL puts a premium on quick decisions and then quick reactions to execute those decisions.

San Diego Stateโ€™s Ryan Lindley: Also has good size (6-3 3/4, 229) but not a particularly accurate thrower; some scouts thought he was plenty smart, others didnโ€™t like his decision making and intangibles.

Wisconsinโ€™s Russell Wilson: Everybody loved his leadership, intelligence and mobility, but most thought he was too short (5-10 5/8) and not strong-armed enough to do much in the NFL. One scout, thought, loves him and thinks everybody is missing on a future NFL starter.

Boise Stateโ€™s Kellen Moore: Consensus is a great football brain but too frail (6-0, 197) and weak armed even to be a No. 2.

Northern Illinoisโ€™ Chandler Harnish (6-1 5/8, 219): Interesting later-round type prospect who ran a lot in college but has a a good combination of mobility and arm talent to develop.

Tenneessee-Chattanoogaโ€™s B.J. Coleman (6-3, 233): Bigger and stronger-armed than Harnish but not as athletic, and a similar-level prospect with good intangibles.
