If I can get Mallet for one of our 6ths I am not against it. I heard a report yesterday he was willing to add a year to his deal to get it done. Under those circumstances I am for it. And it still wouldn't stop me from drafting Murray/McCarron/Mettenberger/Savage if one is left in the 6th.
As for Fitzpatrick, backup QBs are paid what he is paid these days. If he is your backup this year at that salary you are fine. If you accidentally solve your QB with Mallet or a 6th round guy, you can cut Fitzpatrick, eat the cap hit, and still spend less in 2015 at QB than almost any team in the league. If you are drafting your QB in 2015, then Fitzpatrick is not a bad option as a veteran backup. Either way, I really don't see Fitzpatrick or the $8 million as a problem.
