I think it's clearly the worst since '96th when the first QB taken was Tony Banks of Michigan State at #42 by St. Louis.

 

I think those predicting the Chiefs to take Geno Smith simply because they need a QB and they have the first pick don't fully understand how the draft works.

 

Is it possible it could happen?    Sure, anything is possible.   But I think the chances of it happening are incredibly small.   Hard to believe Andy Reid and John Dorsey (new GM) would make such a mistake.   In fact, Dorsey just came out and said as much in the last 24 hours.

 

Besides....   hasn't anyone noticed the success of guys NOT drafted in the first round recently?

 

Kaepernick,  Dalton,  Wilson??    How are those guys doing?

I think we're all spoiled by last year's class.

I really like Tyler Wilson, and Geno Smith will be successful if he goes to KC.

A few surprises will inevitably pop up.

Dysert has a rocket arm and the best deep ball in the class.

Glennon has a big arm and lots of potential, same with Nassib.

Yeah, we're spoiled coming off of the best QB prospect since Elway and RG3, RW, Tannehill, and even Weeden.

I still dont see why so many think Tannehill did so good, he found the end zone 12 times through the air all season long and for a QB that likes to run only found it twice with his feet, massive overdraft by the Dolphins do to being desperate in my opinion, Tannehill may improve but I see his ceiling be along the lines of Jeff Garcia with Tannehill being the less passing savvy of the two, can run some and throw some but will need alot of talent around him to succeed even the slightest bit

2 or 3 will go fast, too many teams need one.     They will reach for one, someone always does.

 

It just takes ONE team to fall in love with a guy      

 

Last season Luck was the ONLY true blue chip QB going into the 11 season.     RG3 blew up during the year, and blew every one away during the workout process.   He was projected as a WR prior to the start of the 11 season.

 

Tannyhill, Weedon, all picked way ahead of their "rating"....    Ponder the year before..

 

 

And if NFL GM's are so smart how does a Russell Wilson go in the 3rd round?   To a team that forked out BIG $$ on a FA QB?

 

It's a crap shoot....   and teams will gamble.

I think that the not-so-great QB class might work in our favor if a team is willing to trade up to get a 2nd first rounder in order to get their guy... it might not be the likeliest scenario, but the Cards or Eagles might want to get a 2nd crack at Smith or someone before KC picks in the 2nd...

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
