I’m going to say there were 0 QBs worthy of a R1 pick this year. They were picked because of a teams pressing need for a decent QB. So I’m all for the Rams picking one next year but don’t force a 2nd round (or worse) talent into the first round.
I agree. I think Cam was a reach as well as a top 5 pick, even as the top option in the class.
Funny thing though is you still gotta take shots on them, since it is purely driven by supply and demand. Also one or two from this class could hit, in which case all that reach BS goes out the window.
Way I see it reaching for a QB in the draft is not the worst thing you can do. That would be paying mediocre fuckheads second tier QB money. In other words if I didn't have a QB I would take one every year and refuse to pay the position until I find one in the draft who can do the job. And in that case I'd have four years of team control, maybe three, before the need to pony up the big bucks.
Since the Rams have the QB it means they don't have to take those shots. Or perhaps more accurately they don't have to actively position to take them. But there is a point where, with an older QB, you would be wise to approach the issue as if you don't have one and take the shot on them each year until you find one you think can take up the baton.
