I actually think this year's QB class might be like 2011's; i.e. one great QB followed by a lot of suck.

(and frankly, I'm not all that sold on the one great QB being there)

Andy Dalton?

I think he is referring to the other first round QBs that year. Christian Ponder, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert as top 15 picks? And were talked about being potential top 10 if I remember correctly. Hindsight is 20/20 but the lol's I get from thinking about the terrible first round decisions other teams have made since we took Cam #1 overall are priceless.

the overhype these QB get are hilarious! 

 

desprate teams giving up so much to get them, and they arent even that good.. they are just the best of a very poor class..

 

its like paying $30 for a box of ramen, because there is nothing else for miles and thats all thats left in there store.. and desperate hungry people need that ramen..

 

its hilarious.. both teams that traded up gave so much.. and the mother fugers aint that good.  they all seem like a blaine gabbert to me

Pie for the Ramen analogy!

I'm going with 2007. They all suck.

This may sound crazy but this could be one of those classes where the most successful are ones at random spots in the draft.  I think it's Dak and Hogan this year.  I don't know what it is but those two just seem like they will translate well...but then again I did think Ricky Stanzi was going to be something in the NFL lol.

In the playoffs?

I could see that.

This is supply and demand gone wrong...

I feel like there's a lot of posturing going on by the Saints here. If they can convince teams they may actually take a QB in the first, teams will be more inclined to move up to get Lynch. 

I'm not ruling out the possibility of a first round QB, even though I feel like it would be ridiculous a year after taking a QB in the 3rd. 

Saints are reported to be enamored with Mo Wilkerson. I could see this as posturing to get the Jets to swap picks and send Wilkerson this way.

Carolina picked a QB in the 2nd round (48th overall pick) in 2010, then turned around and picked their current starter, Pro Bowler, All-Pro, and reigning league MVP with the 1st overall choice in 2011.

When it comes to QBs, if you think you can grab a starter and you need a starter either now or in the near-term, you do it.  The position is just too damn important to pass those opportunities up.  

If its posturing, its posturing.  But if the team truly DOES believe that a guy like Lynch could keep the team solid at the QB position after Brees retires or is retired and they don't pick him?  That would be insanity.

I agree. What would be disappointing to me would be giving up on Grayson after a year of riding the pine. If they saw all they needed to see after a year of practice, it would really be disheartening. What did you miss in the scouting process that you see now? 

But overall, I agree.

Also, completely different circumstances. I think everyone could see, after a year, that Pickles wasn't starter material. 

Cam was a much better prospect coming out than Lynch.
