If I am a QB needy team, I think he has the tools that I could groom into an above average passing QB with 1-2 years development time and I agree he doesn't make it past day 2.
If you work on his timing and foot work with the accuracy he has, he could make a solid west coast QB. He also has good pocket presence which can translate into better reads.
You people are too worried about what they did in college rather then looking at the upside in the pros. Brady lost his job to Stanton at one point and it didn't mean Stanton became the better player in the NFL. Not that I am saying Peterman is Brady, but the Dobbs argument is just stupid.
if a guy pans out, where he was taken isn't as important as who took him. If he is a legitimate passing QB, do you want to look back and see a team in the early 3rd or late 2nd round take him just because the "value" wasn't right on draft day?
If you are going from 10 to 12, you need a hell of a lot more than a mid round pick included. You can hold that pick hostage with anyone else who wants a QB at that spot and see who pays up.
But why draft a QB when you are paying Tyrod as a starter. Yes, it will be cheaper to pay a rookie...until their contract is up. Then we will release them and draft another. It's like leasing a car versus owning one outright.
DB, WR and RB are speed positions and you always draft speed players since they start losing athleticism by the time they reach FA (with some exceptions)
Its merely another tool to grade a player on. Being smart is like arm strength, having it doesn't mean you will succeed as a QB but not having means you likely will never be anything.
