This team needs to tank

I would draft Klyer Murray this year, evaluate him and see if he can be the QB of the future. If not, continue looking for your guy or hold out for the ultimate prize of Trevor Lawrence. Trade guys like AJ, Geno, and Dunlap for picks. 

QB is not the problem with this team.  If you dedicate all our resources to getting another QB we will get worse instead of better.  And if your QB gets injured at all you have nothing.

Aaron Rodgers has a losing record over the last two seasons while Blake Bortles won 2 playoff games.  People who claim all it takes is a great QB to "elevate the players around him" don't pay much attention to the NFL.  A great QB helps, but QB is not the problem with this team, and even a great QB can't win without talent around him.

And finally drafting a QB in the first round is a crap shoot.  Dalton has outperformed an overwhelming majority (18 of 25) of the QBs taken in the first round since he arrived in 2011.
