Quote:It's surer than taking a flier on a 5th round guy from Nowhere State, expecting to groom, develop, and have him as anything more than a backup. You want a QB, they are usually in round 1-2. Beyond that you're just paying for a quick-pick. 
 

That's how the numbers work out.  Add to that, QBs in rounds 1-2 have the highest bust rate...

 

Plus, QBs that fall are mostly on the miss end.  QBs like Quinn and Clausen never amounted to anything.

 

The only one I can think of that fell so hard, Rodgers, took time to develop.  More time than most are patient for.

 

So when those QBs fall...
