Quote:I perfectly understand everybody on this board thinks the draft has only three "franchise" quarterbacks with the potential to be elite. So far nobody has named a single quarterback who is valued at 39 overall and does not have a torn ACL.

....Jimmy Garoppolo.

 

And no everyone does not think that. You can't project that kind of success or failure on a QB, it's all a crapshoot with them. Which is why it's better to draft high end BAP at a position of need than reach on an inferior graded QB and just grab one in the later rounds unless you're absolutely sure he will be a good starter...and none of these quarterbacks are an absolute thing. That's not to say none of them will ever be pro bowlers, or they will all be busts; just none of them are without glaring flaws, and you don't use a top 3 pick on that when there are superior players available.
