While this is true, acquiring a QB allows for a lineman to be selected with our first pick.. And quite possibly, unless a quality linebacker is available, in the second round as well.
I would rather them not take a QB this year in the draft especially with the talent that will be available the next couple years with Case Keenum (

I know the draft is deep in OT, DT, and DB's.
The best inside linebacker is McClain - mid 1st rounder (depends on if they go after Porter, cheap ralph; i doubt it).
They project Iupata OG - as a mid 1st rounder and climbing. (can always bump Levitre back to tackle, it's what he played at oregon).
I don't think Okung will fall to us but if he does everything i've read is saying the Bills should sprint to the podium ( much like the redskins did when the Bills picked maybin over Orakpo).
My point is we may be able to trade back a couple picks, maybe land another second or a first next year. Having more than one first rounder will allow us to trade up in the 011 pick for a locker or Keenum. or if we suck enough which is likely we might be low enough to land one ourselves.
DT - Tyson Aluala - mid round 2nd rounder (agressive can play multiple spots on the line)
NT - Terrance Cody - Go around where we are seated 2nd rounder and climbing as he loses weight. (work ethic is what was questionable, though he's showing he wants to play at least since the combine).
ILB - Brandon Spikes - Mid round second rounder
for a team rebuilding picks are necessary. As well i'd like to get a quality line together, and for now maybe get a competent but not long term QB. Whether that be sign a free agent, or trade for one. I don't think Mcnabb will leave philly though. Or consider a QB in the later rounds, remember Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, I still don't like the idea of the current coaching staff training a QB.
There is a lot of talk about Tebow as well. I agree he is a leader, and a winner, and a hard worker. Problem he is a major project and the Bills I believe do not have a competent quarterback developer on the team. If we had a coach like Sam Wyche as a QB coach, and Marc Trestman (also a QB developer) as a OC, i'd say take the chance on Tebow, who i would say goes late second rounder maybe early third depending on his pro day. This is not just because i dislike the coaching choice, Gailey is know for working with players who are sub par, tyler thigpen for example. As well Gailey's worst years were coaching Georgia Tech - he barely escaped with a winning record, and he's hired a few of the coaches he had on staff with him in georgia.
