We passed on him end of that round, because like you said yourself, we didn't need a QB that badly. When he was still available well into the 5th it became an economics decision. I think you have to look at needs at the short term, mid term and long term vision. In the short term we got a bargain at QB. We found out during the last couple of years how important it is to have options when your QB goes down. It wasn't long ago we had AR and Wallace on the sidelines injured with a rookie thrown into the fire. We got lucky that Flynn (our #4) was available or we would've missed the playoffs altogether IMO. I believe TT realized he made a dire mistake running with just 2 QBs on the roster the other year.   Hundley performed extremely well in college (75 TDs) and later NFL preseason (7 TD/1 INT) and that alone may very well earn him a shot competing for a starting position on another team one day soon. Players are like Dealing in the stock market... they get sold, traded, gain value, lose value, etc..  Developing a solid backup QB will pay dividends because that position is a commodity in the NFL marketplace (much like agriculture has trends of crests and troughs with certain crops from year to year there will one day soon be a thin crop).     Our risk (cost) was low in the short term and now we have 1 less need come the draft for the next several years so we can focus on other positional needs.     Hundley actually being under the tutelage of a system that had produced a multi MVP QB should in itself intrigue several teams down the road, so conceivably his stock should gradually rise even if his play was average.  If he flourishes we hit the jackpot and trade him for a high price. It might play into a trade for another draft pick, player or even both with some luck.  So far he's played worth his weight in gold and I'm excited to see Brett meet his potential.</blockquote>
