ProbablyWrong Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) This isn't about any quarterback in particular, more about past drafting practices. My question is: When was the last time a team drafted a QB in rounds 1-2 in following years? I ask because we all know that the QBs in this class are a crapshoot, and next years look significantly better. If we draft high this year and they bust/underperform, then we are stuck with them for 3+ years and miss out on next year's elite performers. I am of the mind we take a rd 3-4 QB, someone high risk, high reward. That way, if they struggle, we don't have to show the same committment to them for the following years, and can draft a true franchise guy early next year. And, if the boom-or-bust QB works out, then we have a great QB that we stole in a later round. Win-win. Edited March 13, 2013 by ProbablyWrong
Kelly the Dog Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 2011. The Panthers took Newton after taking Jimmy Clausen in the second round. Although Clausen wasn't highly rated. I said in an earlier post we need two QBs. I wouldn't mind at all taking one in the second this year or even the first and then taking a potential franchise guy next year,
