(Hypothetical) Who Would You Take at 31 in This Scenario?

We can add The Steelers with Big Ben retiring and now the tragic car crash death of that Ohio State QB Haskins that Washington drafted very early in round 1.  Washington is a team that we now know has been all messed up, and they never knew how to use RG3 or Haskins.  My word, they had RG3 running the Wishbone, and you can't run the Wishbone in the NFL.  As Dick Butkis, the great Bears linebacker said, if they ever tried to run the Wishbone on us, by the 3rd play I would put their quarterback in the hospital.  That is what happened to RG3 as one of his first games was against Bengals, and Washington even had RG3 running The Statue Of Liberty Play, and Bengals and Defenses could just clobber him.  Washington didn't use Ohio State Haskins right either. Haskins is NOT a running quarterback. WHY do people think every black quarterback is a running quarterback.  Haskins was a big, strong armed, passing quarterback like a Big Ben. Both are hard to tackle, but that does not make them running quarterbacks. Same with Boomer Esiason.  

My point on Haskins is that Washington used him wrong. He is not a Cam Newton, Haskins was more like Big Ben. Haskins could have been the guy to replace Big Ben. Sadly, Haskins was just killed in a car crash.  I think The Steelers are going to have to go Quarterback in Round One.  If you are in dire need of a starting Quarterback, then THAT is what you MUST draft.

So my point is more than 2 quarterbacks will go before Pick 31,  Maybe 3 or 4 quarterbacks per ESPN and CBS Mock Drafts.

So I respect your hard work on this list, but I feel there are many names on it who WILL be there at Pick 31.

Here is something I can get my mind around. Bengals after Free Agent O Line and Tight Ends are talking DEFENSE on Bengals.com  So I'm thinking D Line, Linebacker, Defensive Back.  The Best Defensive Player that drops into The Bengals lap at Pick 31, will be The Pick.  It all depends how the Draft plays out, and who The Bengals have on Their Boards.  Myself, I like Wyatt at D Line, and teams taking Quarterbacks could just drop Wyatt down to us.  I like Wyatt because he is Big and Fast enough to play DE and DT, and Bengals could use a Dan Big Daddy Wilkinson who can play all across the D Line, IF HE FALLS to Pick 31

I will bet the farm that it will NOT be an O Lineman or a Tight End.  Bengals have hit that hard in Free Agency. IT WILL BE DEFENSE at Pick 31, and THAT you can bet on. A good D Lineman, or Linebacker, or Cornerback, or Safety, but IT WILL BE DEFENSE at Pick 31.  We can take that Center off the board, Bengals filled that in Free Agency.

The intent of this hypothetical scenario is meant to be almost a worst-case situation.
Most of the guys we and many experts have predicted for the Bengals are gone in this scenario.
You're right, there may end up being another QB or two taken. There might be some other players taken, but that's not the point.

You didn't really answer the question of the OP though, which is who would you take if those 30 aren't available.
