If we are going to trade up and mortgage future picks.... It better be for what the team sees as a Franchise QB.... So if that's what they do, and Who they see Cam Ward to be... and who they move up to draft... Cool.

Oh... and for the "we have other needs" people... Of course we do! And that has nothing to do with anything if we trade up for a franchise QB. (Not saying I'm convinced that's what he is, but if we do this, that's obviously what the team thinks)

Doing this is an admission that we have more needs than we can possibly fill this year, and we are going to rebuild over time with a young QB.

And I think what people are missing is that we do have all kinds of needs on this team, but we have no bigger need than for a franchise QB.

For any team that does not have a franchise QB, their biggest need is a franchise QB. If you have that franchise QB, everything else is much easier to do. FAs want to play with franchise QBs, players on your team want to keep playing with franchise QBs, franchise QBs make your team better than the individual pieces, etc.

I'm not sure Ward is that guy, but I think he might be. And, if Moore thinks he is, it's his job on the line. So, if he wants Ward, go get him.
