Quote:Understand that completely.

 

But I also understand why so many teams can miss.

 

That's why QB hungry teams can pass on Drew Brees until the 2nd round.

 

That's why a guy like Montana can last until the 3rd.

 

Realize that under your size rationale, you'd draft Jonathan Quinn before Teddy Bridgewater...Blaine Gabbert before Mark Brunell.

 

Bridgewater may well drop out of the top ten due to size.

 

That doesn't mean he won't be a productive QB.

 

Completely agree.  That's the definition of drafting the correct value.  If you see risk in the player (such as less than ideal traits) then you set value accordingly.

 

Harbaugh said he thought Kaepernick was the best player in the draft.  That doesn't mean they should have drafted him as high as they could.  You seek to value the player's stock to the best of your ability and draft them as close to that as you can.
