Top 3 QB Draft in past decade

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
