Stranger things have happened. Sometimes scouts can get it wrong. Looking back at the 2011 QB class it was obvious Newton deserved to be the No. 1 overall pick. But had you told most people at that time that Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick would be selected in the 2nd round and go onto have success after Locker, Gabbert & Ponder were all drafted ahead of them nobody would have believed you. 

 

This draft does have that same vibe to it. Teams will end up over drafting Trubisky, Watson & Kizer on day one and then it'll be guys like Davis Webb & Patrick Mahomes that slip into RD2 that probably go onto have the most success down the road. I can't stress it enough. I think this is truly a weak QB class and there's going to be a lot of buyer's remorse in short time. 

 

Only a team looking for a successor to its locked in starter should draft Trubisky because he was a starter only one season and is not a natural leader. Arizona would be the most logical guess for his destination.

I would guess if dropped to NE. We could trade back up for Watson.

I'm reminded of how the Bills got EJ Manuel and how the Ravens got Flacco.


 

I don't know though as I'd hate to lose our early first round pick. If Kizer  or Mahomes is there in R2, the Jaguars need to get him.

The Bills reached for E.J. Manuel no matter how they drafted him.

Anonymous scouts and executives told Lance Zierlein Mitch Trubisky can make all the throws, but has leadership issues. Everyone he interviewed wants to know why he could not win the starting job his first two years at UNC.

 

I saw a documentary about the 6 QBs who were taken ahead of Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick said one reason they hesitated to draft Brady was that Michigan was "constantly trying to replace him."   But of course, they finally took him anyway, despite their initial misgivings. 

 

You have to look very deeply into issues like the one you cite.   Because if you shy away from drafting a guy because he couldn't win the starting job in his first two years, you just might pass over one of the greatest football players of all time!

Tom Brady was Michigan's starter for more than one season, which is a crucial difference. Leadership was not an issue for him. These AFC sources don't think Mitch Trubisky has the "it" factor. They just like him as a passer.
