Almost every year - "there are no good QBs" and most of those drafts still tend to produce one or two quality starters.

That's kind of the point.

They should produce more than only one or two if the class is to be considered good.

That, and the one or two that do emerge should be from the top of the list (if that list is indeed a good one.)

I love it when guys like Mahommes and Wilson beat the odds and prove a lot of folks wrong.

But when you get classes like 2015... yikes.

Even last year... the most successful weren't the ones the so-called or self-proclaimed experts had expected to be the best of class (Darnold, Rosen, Allen.) They ended up being the wildcards Mayfield and Jackson who most felt to be less safe.

Truth is, no one knows. But what is true... is that if you do have a bonafide franchise QB prospect, they should rise to be selected in the top 3 at least. If not, that indicates there are valid questions about the QB class (not just the top prospect.)

This year the best QB in class may come off the board closer to 10 than 1.

If the top QB doesn't go 1, that's not a strong top of class, and also not likely a strong class overall. Like last year, I think the most successful isn't going to be the first QB that comes to mind.
