I like the way Arizona is thinking, there are 2 good quarterbacks that are ready to go and most likely on the market. If you are a team that is good enough to win your division pretty much right now, it is insane to go and get a rookie quarterback when most of your team are veterans. The Cardinals went and got Patrick Peterson who I think is not as great as everybody has made him out to be, but the experts love him and have stated that he could be the number one overall talent in this draft. They do not go and pick up a rookie when Kevin Kolb and Donovan McNabb will most likely be out there. A team like Cincinnati who should have picked up a quarterback didn't as I don't think McNabb would want to go there, maybe they could still get Kolb. Minnesota has a good veteran team, with a great running back and a solid defense that just needs a little bit of help in the secondary, and they go out and waste their 12th pick on a risky Christian Ponder. I am fairly certain they could have traded down and still got Ponder if they really wanted him.
One quarterback move I am still unsure about is the Jaguars taking Gabbert. I love Gabbert and think that he is the safest quarterback in this draft, but when you have a lot of money tied up in your starting quarterback, not sure what the move is trying to get across. Garrard has not been what they expected since signing that big contract, but it is still a lot of money to tie up in one position. So to recap, I like what the Cardinals are doing, don't like what Minnesota did, not sure what Carolina is doing and as usual the worst organization in football makes a bad move not taking a quarterback, although I do like AJ Green, just not sure who will be throwing it to him.
