"You can't pay too much attention to the quarterback position in the NFL (though the Washington Redskins have been ignoring this axiom for the past year). Until you find a bona fide QB, you can forget about hoisting any Lombardi trophies, forget about making any history — the good kind, at least. In fact, until you find a bona fide QB, you're pretty much roadkill for all the teams that have found bona fide QBs.

Quarterbacks are the pro football equivalent of beachfront property, as Lex Luthor might say. There's nothing more valuable. And this year, as is often the case, they're the prime topic of conversation in the months leading up to the draft. Will Indianapolis take Andrew Luck, Stanford's latest golden arm, with the No. 1 pick? What will happen with Robert Griffin III, the ubertalented Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor? And how will any of this impact on the Redskins, who are sitting with the sixth selection and would seem, at long last, to be in the market for a QB?"
