PAC 12 QBs scare the poo out of me.  After Burrow and Tua, the rest of those guys do not separate themselves.  I know Herbert is the consensus #3, but he's close to Fromm, Eason and Love than the first two.  That's why I am dead set NOT to take a QB at #7 because Burrow and Tua will be gone.  If you got basically the 'same guy' the next several picks, why not wait until the 2nd round?

Right. If a Tua or Burrow happened at all to still be there at 7 you would need to sprint to the podium and count your blessings they were there.

There is one QB I'm interested in past Tua and Burrow and that is Love.  The rest have huge concerns or aren't there talent wise.  But there is such amazing talent elsewhere high in this draft.  It has probably ~40-45 1st round talent.  It's loaded IMO.

The days of statues in the pocket are over. He has a great arm but he seems not very athletic. If that was more of Washington offense so be it but being like Big Ben... Big Ben is Big Ben because he is a Big Mac away from being a guard.

The NFL is cyclical. The moment the league drafts massive WRs to tower over 5’10 DBs, the league drafts 6’1 corners to deal with them. As the corners get bigger, the smaller WR dominates over the middle because bigger players aren’t as agile. 
 

The league moves to more speed on defense and then guys like Henry crush them on runs. The moment the league gets bigger on defense again the smaller shiftiest backs will take over again. 
 

The league will always have a place for less mobile QBs.

This is exactly right. A good team needs to stay ahead of the trends.

One trend that isn’t going away is a diminishing pool of OL talent. A mobile QB really helps overcome that issue.

Would have been great 20 years ago. Guy is a throwback. I mean he's probably good, but pretty one dimensional. 

Thing is, there's an old school market for a guy like him. Seems like the kind of QB a defensive minded coach would like... 4 or 5 years into their career.

looking at the new cba sticking points makes it seem like the OL situation is only going to get  worse too
