Half of the QB's that you listed have really done nothing yet to say whether they are going to be franchise QB's.

Stafford: Rookie QB who has done nothing

Sanchez: Rookie QB whose team won because of running th ball and D. May be good, but does not warrant high praise yet.

Ryan: good rookie year. Mediocre sophomore year. Jury still out.

Flacco: Has shown improvement. However, his team really wins in spite of him, not because of him. The running game and defense are the reasons the Ravens made the playoffs.

Rodgers/Rivers: playing solid ball. However, both GB has made the playoffs once in the past two years. SD is a perennial one and done in the playoffs.

Not saying that these guys will not be good QB's, but to lump them into Rd 1 successes now is a bit premature.

I will give you Manning and McNabb. However, there are still more 1st and 2nd round QB busts than successes.

agree with you on these points, would have made them myself if you haven't... one thing though, I'd take Rodgers and Rivers in a heartbeat.. 2 of the best in the league. Perhaps playoff games will come along to back that up, but in a league where QB is hard to find, they are 2 of the best..

I am not saying that I would not take either....as I would.

Just that I would not put them on the list of elite QB's. They are def good, but only time will tell on them.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
