It's a 1 QB draft (Lawrence.) Everyone else is a crapshoot and even Lawrence is not a sure thing.

And you would draft on impulse.

I'm not even sure what you mean by that. I wouldn't draft on impulse because I'm not the GM, and I'm not trying to play board GM or even scout these players. I'm saying If the consensus is that there are two QBs at the top of the draft, we 100% need to take one. It's really not that wild of an opinion lol. 

Anyway, weren't you the guy who was raving over Mason Rudolph a few years ago? I guess I'll bow to your infinite draft wisdom on QBs.

If you haven't seen them play, how can you form an opinion? I don't ever take anyone else's word on anything. I have to see it for myself. I don't trust consensus. The consensus said that RG3 was gonna be a star QB. The consensus also said JaMarcus Russell was a "can't miss" QB and that Tom Brady was too un-athletic to make it in the NFL. I don't trust the consensus. I like to form my own opinions. 

As for Rudolph, as I said earlier, I did like him am lot and I still do. Unlike other QB's in his class who got drafted to bad teams, he is now sitting behind a future hall of famer who is having an MVP type season. When Rudolph gets his chance to take over the reigns full time, I believe he will be very good. Sitting and learning behind greatness, can only help his progression.
