Drafting positions that pay immediate dividends

if our guy busts and the other guy turns into a superstar, they look terrible. that "other guy" could literally be any of the top 7 guys. if our dude doesn't do well there will always be a fan to bitch about it, don't worry.

As I said in another thread the thought of another Elite WR on our roster getting 400yds a year makes me sick.

I think most the fanbase is tired of waiting for the perfect quarterback. I'm tired of waiting and saying let's take the best player here. A linebacker is safer, so what? How many touchdown passes is he going to throw. As mayock has said, if you have a need at quarterback that triumphs all.

We have never had a franchise QB, and all of that is Fox's fault for not drafting a QB under Delhomme like Packers did Rodgers under Farve.

All I'm saying is that the QB class is so weak this year that the best option is to draft a player that will make an impact right away. The team is talent starved, especially on offense, and if not QB, pick the player that will make the biggest difference right away.

If there were better QB prospects, even just a little, I'd say go QB. We'd be calling on that player to start right away and we saw how that turned out last year. I could see those prospects being solid starters on the right team, but they'd need solid coaching, time on the bench, and talent around them. And since there's a slim chance of football next year, drafting a QB that will do nothing next year seems like a waste...why not draft a QB next year that got to play the extra season.
