Latter round QBs

First round QBs have the highest success rate. You can dance around the stat all you want but it’s proven. Skew the data, cherry pick a stat, keep in a small (1 year) sample size, but no one is interested in your nonsense. Go back to calling Icky a bust or talking about how good Glass will be. 

Highest success rate on what? Receiving the most franchise opportunities in the NFL?

I agree that 1st round picks are gifted the most opportunities.

I think Duggan will be a good late rd pick. He got pummeled in the championship game. But 1 game shouldnt be the deciding factor, especially when your going up against a team that could beat half the NFL. I think he has the mobility and skills and especially if we go Quentin in the first.

Duggan is a nice college player but he routinely showed at the Senior Bowl why he will likely be a third day pick in the draft. 

His skills are largely below average at the NFL level.

I am quite biased on this one, but I would take a flier on Ahlers if they do not go QB in the early rounds. I'd even consider spending a 7th.  Ahlers improved substantially year to year during his time at ECU, especially going into his last season.  He started as a true Freshman.  Plus, he is tough as nails, looks the part, good leader, great character, has some wheels, and has the size/inertia to truck the majority of NFL DB's.  He could also be a good fit for the RPO and mesh concepts.  

We could take a flier on him in the 7th even if we did go QB early. We only have one QB under contract currently. Sign a veteran and let the rest of them battle it out for roster spots.

You need backup QB's in the NFL too.

He also had a ton of NFL level throws for a guy who “doesn’t have an NFL arm.”

I would never count Ahlers out.  The epitome of a team leader and knows the game backwards and forwards.  He also played this entire season with a torn labrum among other injuries.  Tough as nails.

Being tough is great, being injury prone is not.

I know there were a lot of folks high on Stroud before the Georgia game, but a lot more jumped on the bandwagon after it.

Well it makes a lot of sense. All of his perceived weaknesses were disproven in the game against Georgia. Seeing him do, what he wasn’t supposed to be able to do, over and over against what was the best defense in college football is a very solid reason to reassess your opinion of him. Not sure why that is an issue?

It was one game where Stroud stepped up his play. His Oline kept him upright for the most part and he did a good job for the most part of stepping up into the pocket or making a throw when Georgia was able to get in his face, though there were a few times he got rattled. Stroud won't have a super dominate Oline in the NFL because no team does. There's too much talent in opposing rushers for that. But again, it's just one game.

Look at how many guys had one great game and then faded away. That one game could be the only time he plays that well ever. Then again, it could have been the start of him turning the corner and living up to his potential. Can he play that well week in and week out is the question. I don't think one game is enough to know for sure.
