How do GM's avoid a "Gabbert"? and its relation to Caldwell/2014 draft

#18

Quote:Where a player gets picked has nothing to do with how many Pro Bowls he plays in. Some Pro Bowlers were not drafted. Others were second or third day picks.

 

The top of the first round is for picking a quarterback, even if you have to reach a little bit, unless there aren't any worth picking in the top 10.
 

No, the top of the draft is for getting guys that are easy to evaluate as elite players. They should be pro bowl quality guys. If you're drafting a bunch of role players and wash-outs in the first round you end up where the Jaguars are.

 

The top of the first round is for drafting the most desirable guys.

 

Sure sometimes players develop from the later rounds, but the majority of elite players are taken in the first half of the draft.
