Top 5 QBs taken over the last 12 years

Folks, 

You don’t have to pick a specific guy others want you to pick when you draft first overall. When you have that pick, you can take whoever you deemed to be “your guy”. Also don’t forget there’s a reason a team drafts first overall. They are a bad team. They have a harder time climbing their team out of the gutter compared to a guy drafted 15th overall.

The only thing that this chart tells me is that the current superstar QBs in todays game were picked in the 1st round, some of them may not have been top 5 picks but still in the first round. The right player with the right coaching/organization fit is huge, look at Josh Allen and Lamar. These guys were so raw, some even saw Lamar as a RB, coaching now a days needs to adapt to the player not the other way around.

So what's the point of this thread? Stick with PJ?

I mean ... you know how we got Cam, right? We drafted him.

Point of this thread is you don’t have to tank the season away to get a good QB because it’s usually a crapshoot anyways.

I see archetypes for the QB draft.  

there's the athlete, the game manager, the media favorite, then guys with talent who for whatever reason cant get out of their own way.   Injuries do fall into this category. 

I propose the "breakfast club"  QB class system.  

1 .the Princess

2. the Criminal

3. the Basket case

4. the Brain

5. the Jock

example recent class. Pickett is a princess. Willis is the Jock Bailey is the Brain.  it's between corrall and rudder to prove me wrong neither will end up the basket case or criminal. My money is on Ridder as the Criminal. 

just look at the OP's handy chart and you can't tell me Lawrence was not the princess of his class.  Have fun.

Why is everyone giving up on matt corral already

Well maybe because he was Rhule and generally unless they have real good reason the next staff isn’t invested in him. Corral didn’t show anything on film that I would consider real valuable for them to witness. So far. 
I see him as unknown still.

Play as good as we can now.

Win as much as we can now.

And get the best QB we can in the draft. 

There wasn't a sure shot QB last season. The Panthers, needing a QB, drafted an OT with the number six pick. Not Pickett, not Willis, not Corral.

There's not a sure shot QB this year either, neither Young, Stroud or Levis is a top tier pick at QB.

I totally agree. Get as many wins as you can BUT it's probably unlikely they pick any of these guys at QB with a top 5-10 pick.

The risk would be huge taking any of these QBs this year top ten. Although I'm on the Levis as the top pick of this group bandwagon, I still don't think Levis is a bonafide top 10 pick, more like a late first, second round guy.

Not to high on this class at all. If there was a Cam in this draft I'd be all in but there is not.

I see us going BPA or something close to it.

you need to draft AR in the first because of the 5th year option

This is the move. If you need him to sit a year, which he does as of now, you want those 4 extra rookie years of his contract. This is probably why some team drafting in the back of the first takes a swing on him.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
