Quote:I know what opportunity cost is haha. No one is saying to force it (well maybe Wiseman is), and I have been very careful not to use any names. All I have ever done is show the raw stats, and say that if Dave deems there to be a franchise QB prospect available when we are on the clock at 3 then it doesn't matter who else is available, you take the QB. 

They are all potential franchise QBs in the draft, the difference is in your level of confidence. If you feel more confident in another player than you do in a potential franchise QB, you take the other player and then work on acquiring your QB a different way. It's a normal human bias to over value something of need. You don't leave the better player on the board to chase QBs. That is how you wind up with Gabbert.

 

There isn't one recipe for success. Having some sort of rigid plan based on stats is a recipe for disaster. You must have the ability to adapt to circumstance if you want to maintain the best position for yourself.
