And answer me this: by your analysis then the Browns "got cute" last year by skipping the QB (twice). Two QBs last year that I think perhaps are better than the Jambalaya at QBs we have this year. before last years draft your jambalaya reference could also been used and so ya I'm saying to draft Darnold to which we could develop into a starting QB,this team needs a freaking direction and drafting Darnold would do that drafting a db from bama doesn't move the needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then explain why this is relevant here. Because before the draft, there might have been a good chance neither were a top 10 overall prospect. Drafted #1 and 2, because they are QBs, but neither were considered "can't miss QBs". Two years later would anyone complain about where they were taken? Which speaks directly to your point. Relevant enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relevant enough? Possibly. But you are trying to make future predictions based on past events. (I know, I do it all the time). All I am saying is that very few actual "rankings of talent" put any of these guys as the best prospects in this draft. Only the Mocks do that. And maybe you are right...perhaps it could be proven a few years down the road that these top QBs taken become the Eli/BR/Rivers of this year. Or, as I said, they could be the Ponders/Lockers/Gabberts. We don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Marino and Aikman on that list also. Marino was the #27 pick in the draft. 5 others were taken before him...but he can arguably be considered the best of that group...though you do have Elway and Kelly in there. Do you think there is a #27 Marino that could go this year? It is certainly possible. Do you think that as many as 5-6 will go in round one? That has only happened twice in the common draft era...as many as 5 QBs taken. 1983 and 1999. 1983 produced 3 HOFers, one very good one (O/Brien), one mediocre (Eason)..and one bust (Blackledge). 1999 produced one borderline HOF in McNabb. One pretty good one in Culpepper. Another fairly good one imo...whose career was cut short by injury: Couch, and two complete busts: Akili and McCown.

Are you asking where, of the starting QBs on the 32 teams this past year, did they get drafted? I know at least about half of them were 1st rounders.

Brady 6th And if you can tell me who the Jets and Broncos started...I guess I may be able to tell what round they came in. Siemian was like 7th round. Bryce Petty was 3rd. Osweiler was 2d or 3rd.

Brady 6th And if you can tell me who the Jets and Broncos started...I guess I may be able to tell what round they came in. Siemian was like 7th round. Bryce Petty was 3rd. Osweiler was 2d or 3rd. OK. Among those, I'd only take the following non-first rounders: Wilson, Carr, Garoppolo, Brees, Brady. 5 out of 32 is not a very nice statistic. Among first rounders: Stafford, Mariota, Ryan, Newton, Winston (meh), Flacco, BR, Eli, Wentz, Luck. 11 out of 32. So it could be said that you double your chances by drafting a QB on first round. Not because drafting a random guy on 1st makes him automatically good, but because everyone drafts BPA thay fits their needs, just before someone else tries to draft him. So if you draft someone on 1st it is because a bigger number of teams think he's good, therefore there's less risk to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
