I also am not sure the Jets (Kellen Clemmens) or the Bears (Grossman and Orton) are really in the market for drafting another QB in the first round. Their fans probably would rank QB as their #1 need but I'm not sure their GMs would agree.
Because QB and LT are the 2 most important positions on offense and they have neither. They would only be giving up one draft choice (3rd round) to get the second best QB in the draft.

As for the Jets and the Bears, Both would be in the playoffs right now if it werent for poor QB play. Neither have a shot at Stafford and after Sanchez there is a huge drop of in talent IMO. Also what do you mean by "am not sure the Jets (Kellen Clemmens) or the Bears (Grossman and Orton) are really in the market for drafting another QB in the first round.? Only Grossman was a 1st round pick out of hte QB's you named and that was way back in 2003.
