Starting to Think We Go QB Early

1.  We have two years with Andy's contract and if this year does not go well we will have a decent pick next year
2.  Overall this QB class is subpar on paper for 1st round QB.. i see a bad group next year
3.  Zac Taylor was part of try to  recruit  Andy out of High School at Texas A and M and saw a lot of him at TCU.. 
4.  I think Mike Brown will say give Andy a chance with a new HC to see where he can lead us.
5.  This team has talent in areas, we have more pressing needs than QB

All fair points. I can see plenty of reasons either way. On the pro side of taking a QB, it'd generate more fan interest, it's a new regime which often = new QB, and taking a QB now would allow for that new QB to sit and learn behind Andy for a year, after which we could trade Andy.

A QB at 11 would still be a mild surprise. I'd be less surprised about one in round 2 and I'm pretty much expecting a QB somewhere in the top 4 rounds.
