5) CB (Aiken)
5) If no OC taken, OC (Larsen). If otherwise, WR (Janis)

Brees has at least 3-4 years left. I'm surprised how many people would like to draft QB. Wrong year. Needs: 2 WRs (1 in early rounds), 2 OL/C, LB (1st/2nd round), 1 CB, 1 DE/LB (prospect), maybe speedy RB/KR, maybe 1 player with huge upside (later rounds, recovering from injury...). You just can't fit QB with these needs.

Some do, some don't.

I'd like to pick the QB of the future now. 3rd round would be nice. Wouldn't want to take the bet that our future QB must be Griffin (although I like him, he was undrafted).

Now's good because we can resist the impulse to start a rookie/sophomore. Learn and develop under Brees at least 2 years. So many talented QBs are damaged physically or psychologically by starting too early and carrying the hopes of a lost cause.

Also, we may end up needing him sooner than expected. Aaron Rodgers went down for many games last year. Brady took over for Bledsoe. Montana-Young-Garcia was annoying, yes?

The "3-5 years left" for Brees could come sooner: injury, performance, contract/cap hit. Most GB fans may have been surprised when the front office decided to go with Rodgers over Favre, but I doubt many of us here were.

Some day but not yet. Bet our front office has at least a contingency plan that the time is 2016. Cap hit experts here may see the optimal breakpoints but what if our hand is forced sooner?
