And QB is the modt important position on the team. So the back up QB is much more important than back ups at other positions.
Look, if the Bengals get a second round pick for McCarron, I'd be fine with that. But I don't see the success of the team hanging on an extra second round pick, so I won't be upset if we do not trade him.
I read somewhere too that only 40% of 1st Round picks ever become starters.
People tend to view the draft as their favorite team getting 7 new starters in time...but realistically if you get 2 quality starters out of any draft...you've done fairly well...and if you get 3-4 you had a great draft.
