Latter round QBs

[DaveThePanther2008]

We all want one of the top 4 QBs in this draft and I hope we end up with one of them.  Though, I am not totally convinced any will be the answer we are hoping for.

That said, there is a fair chance that we end up without one of these QBs in round 1.   I know it is blasphemous to imply we won't, but we need to accept the fact that other teams could offer more than what we are able to or willing to give up for one of these QBs. 

So, I found a list of QBs that would be 2nd Day QBs and I would image that Reich has to be looking at more than just the top 4.  We have Corral that no matter what happens will be in the mix.

This is an interesting list because it has Richardson who is arguably the 4th QB off the board rated 6th behind Hooker and McGee.  Another thing I heard was Duggan had a really good workout at the Senior Bowl.  

Which QB outside of Young, Stroud, Levis and Richardson would be the best prospect for Reich to work with.  I am excited that we have a former QB who works well with QBs.

If Hooker didn't get hurt he would be a 1st round QB.

I vote for a QB selection in every round. Go into camp with 8 QBs and pray one works out so that we can build around a QB on a rookie wage scale.

One site I looked at said Hall was nothing more than a future backup or spot starter. 

I know his age and ACL tear is a factor but Hooker would be a very interesting prospect with Reich.

Good point but this could be the third time just because of who needs QBs.  I was expecting Brady to go to LV but when he retired that put LV on the radar for a QB too.

Plus everyone is calling it a “weak” class, yet 4 will be gone by pick 9?? Makes no sense…

Hooker is the 3rd best QB in this draft

Tanner McKee looks interesting for a second day flier…

Hooker could be the steal of the draft.

If I had to rank:

1. Stroud

2. Young

3. Hooker

4. Levis

5. McKee

6. Richardson

7. Duggan

8. Hall

9. Cunningham

Why do you believe that?

It’s still so early. Remember the Willis to Detroit at #2 mock drafts? 
 

QB is treated so differently in the draft since it’s so important and you only play 1 on Sunday. 

 

This draft doesn’t have undeniable QB talent, but the teams picking at the top need QB.

 

So I could easily see 4 in the top 10, all being “reaches” based on big boards.

 

I can also see 2 of the top 4 QB’s, if not taken top 10, drop all the way to the 2nd round. And maybe 1 goes in the 3rd. 
 

You draft a QB to be the guy nowadays, not to develop, so after the 1st round, the question turns into “when do you value drafting a backup QB?” Teams wild rather go another impact position with their 2nd/3rd rounds.

 

I think that can influence prospects taking a free fall at the QB spot. You are drafted to be the guy or not. And if you are drafted to be the guy, you are drafted early.
