They have 3 guys on offense, maybe 4 that could start on another team in the NFL. To dig into those excellent draft positions, start throwing them away, and abandoning the potential draft of a lifetime for a QB like RG3 who hasn't even played in a pro-style offense would be nuts.
Don't get me wrong, I think RG3 is awesome, but he's not a fit for Holmgren's conservatism and he completely dulls the edge they have in this draft.
I really think he stays with McCoy, and maybe even trades off that 4 spot for some sweet meat a little deeper in the draft (or in free agency) if he can gain advantage. He takes a lot of pride in finding raw talent and making a team work, we'll see.
And, IMO, Colt McCoy isn't one of them. I think he'd make a decent backup, but when I see Colt I just don't see a starting NFL quarterback. Now, get on the horn with those Cleveland fellas and tell them to go ahead and send that second round pick on up to Green Bay. We'll send Flynn in return. Hell, we'll even throw some cheese curds in for good measure.
