I stated this in the "how to avoid Gabbert" thread, but I'll repeat it here; don't draft scared. If you set your strategy to run away from a certain type of player, Lord only knows who you may miss. Gabbert's draft class has come and gone and it has no effect on the 2014 class. There are players that will be selected in this class that will perform beyond anyone's prediction. There will also be players that won't live up to the hype, and there will be guys that do exactly what is expected of them. Happens every time.

 

You grade these players based on the attributes that they have and what they have done so far. It's the only way to get as true an evaluation as possible without bias. Just collect good players that will help your team. If one of those players is a QB, take him. If one of those players is a DE, take him. Don't worry about the next Derrick Harvey or Blaine Gabbert, just get good players.
