I voted 'definitely not'.
I have nothing against Dalton.
But 3rd round is too high for a QB in our case.
3rds are just too valuable to spend on a guy that I hope to God never plays a meaningful down for at least 4 of 5 years. (And by then if he's any good he's gone in free agency)
I threw stuff at my TV when they took O'Connell a few years ago.
AMEN!! :rocker:
O'Connell was one of Coach Bill The Mad's few blatant MISTAKES.
HIDEOUSLY stupid move.

To answer the OP: NO way in HELL.
For one thing: Dalton currently is a Riser who's looking like a 2nd Rounder, not a 3rd.
That makes me VERY happy...Because he is a Project who'll push better players our way.

If he DOES slip to the 3rd, and if we made the GOD AWFUL mistake of wasting ANOTHER 3rd on a QB, I'd step right over Dalton to draft Ricky Stanzi, every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

But the SMARTEST move, for those who understand what makes exceptional QB's ~ hint: It's MUCH more than their Arms!! ~ and for those who understand that there's a VERY strong possibility that General Tom Brady will be with us for another 5-8 years!! ~ would be to haul in Greg McElroy for the bargain price of a 5th Rounder, as I've been advocating since ThanksGiving.
