Playoff QBs and where they were drafted

Three not in the first round. If you have a chance to get your franchise QB in the draft, you don’t worry about trading up. I’ll be happy sticking with our guy if he falls to 8, but won’t be even slightly upset if we trade away picks to move up and get our guy. You cannot win in today’s NFL without a franchise QB.

I mean one of those is Alex Smith who will be spitting reps with Taylor Heinecke, and then you have Trubisky and Goff.

So I mean there is that.

Of the 14 listed your average is around pick 29. So deep in the first. So does this crush the notion that we need to trade up to “get our guy?”

There is plenty of stats that back up the idea that you need to find your QB in the first round.

The first round doesn't guarantee the QB will be good, but drafting one out of the first round almost guarantees he won't be.

Brady and Wilson are rare exceptions.

No, it shows that you are being swayed by two of the very best QB values of all time.

Who’s your second best QB of all time? I assume Brady is the 1st.

You would be wrong.

But I'm not talking about best QB's,  I'm talking about best QB values of all time.

My list would start with Manning 1 and Montana.

I was referring to your comment on “two best QB” skewing the results. Brady was obviously drafted in the 6th round which could skew the curve but who’s your other guy that’s skewing it?

Re-read my post.

I said you are letting two of the best QB VALUES ever sway your thinking.

I know what you mean by “values.” I’m asking you which QB currently in the playoffs do you consider to be such?

Holy poo man.

You were saying that the draft slot for the QB's in the playoffs was 29, disproving that you need to move up to get our guy.

I stated that you are allowing Tom Brady and Russell Wilson to influence the outcome too much, those guys, at those draft slots were unicorns.  Hence you are allowing two of the very best QB values ever to sway your outcome.

9 out of 14 are top 11 picks... This is hopefully going to be the last time we're picking in the top 11 in many many years. Now is our opportunity and it couldn't come at a better time, with a stacked QB class this year. Even if we have to trade up, we absolutely need to get our guy at QB in this draft. It's a no brainer.
