Day 2 General Draft Discussion

Sigh.

[App Panther]

Hodl. 

Draft your QB next year with a new coach. Rhules biggest accomplishment will be getting us a top 5 pick in a legit QB class.

 

 

[jopie87]

Go get Baker

[Chief Keek]

That leaves Howell or Corral

[Smithers]

Glad Willis is gone.  Dude is gonna be such a bust 

[GoobyPls]

I want Corral but no one wants to trade with us. I bet we are low balling these teams

People don't get this.

40 SBs have been won by a QB who was drafted by that championship team. Four of those QBs led their teams to a dynasty. Brady with 6 trophies (pick 199), Montana (pick 82) with 4 trophies, Bradshaw (pick 1) with 4 trophies, and Aikman (pick 1) with 3 trophies.

In the last 9 seasons, only 1 first round QB has won the SB for the team that drafted them. 3 QBs outside the first round have led their team that drafted them to 5 of those 9 SB championships.

5 of the 9 SB losers drafted their QBs in the 1st round. Goff, Newton, Ryan, Burrow, and Mahomes.

Brady, Wilson, and Mahomes have been the only 3 QBs drafted by their team to show up in multiple SBs over the past decade.

What can we learn from this? Drafting a QB to be your franchise QB gives you the best shot to win a SB, and not drafting that QB in the 1st round increases your chances at going to multiple SBs and cementing your franchise as an NFL dynasty. Facts.

Small sample size. Another way to look at this.

Over the past 15 years, only eight quarterbacks who weren’t drafted in the top 40 have won more than eight games as a starter for the team that chose them: Wilson (98), Prescott (42), Kirk Cousins (26), Nick Foles (21 in two stints with the Philadelphia Eagles), Trent Edwards (14), Chad Henne (13), Trevor Siemian (13) and Tarvaris Jackson (10).

YGM

I liked him a lot. Just based on watching games the games (not referencing any stats or grades) I felt like he was good against the run, but am hoping he can improve his pass rushing 

[RJK]

Good fit. They’ll run all over everybody 

[t96]

Ok we can still get Howell and Baker

[PleaseCutStewart]

The national gay football league?... Is it a league for gay people only?

[45catfan]

Tannehill isn't going to be there forever.  However, this is the last pick at QB for future starter hopefuls. When Howell and Corral get taken, they are being taken as backups.
