Top 3 QB Draft in past decade

[Chris Smitty]

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.

Good point. Very few of those I would want.

For me just Luck or Burrow. Maybe Lawrence.

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.

Numbers 1 and 3 from 2018 are on this team riding the bench.

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.

Im a big herbert fan and all, but i think Burrow passed him today.......plus burrow took his team to the SB while getting sacked 20 times a game....

#1 pick 2011- Cam Newton

#10 pick 2011- Blaine Gabbert(2nd qb taken)

it doesnt matter. pick your guy and having your choice is more important than leaving it up to the teams in front of you to miss.

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.

Gabbert is still employed

Blaine >>> Cam

Bold statement but I feel like if Cam was cool with being a career backup from now on he too could be employed.

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.
