This is QB drafted in the top 3 of the draft in past decade. 

 

For information, Patrick Mahomes at 10 in 2017, Josh Allen at 7 next year, Justin Herbert at 6 in 2020.

 

So we can draft our franchise QB with 5-6 wins and a pick between 5-10. I think Will Levis it's possible with a mid-top 10 pick.

Well that's the thing; people are trying to act like a top pick is s guarantee. It's not. It's simply not. Picking the wrong guy is just a part of the process. Hitting on that true franchise guy is really part research---they're all researched extensively---and part luck. That's why you have to keep on throwing darts until you hit.

Yup. Only the Mannings were SB champs as result of tanking.  Every other SB champion in the last 20 years did NOT tank for a QB.

That's an interesting observation.  And if you are going to use that logic, I would say that only the Colts had the #1 pick to take Peyton.  The Giants had to trade for Eli.  And what they gave up was similar to what the Chiefs had to give up to move up and take Patrick Mahomes.

You have to draft the right QB and develop him in a system that highlights his strengths. Then build a solid roster around him with a good HC. The good news is I think we have a nice foundation for a young QB. We have a solid young OL, established WR in Moore, young weapons with potential in Shi, TMJ, and Tremble plus a decent defense with a young solid core in Horn, Chinn, Burns, and Brown.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
