Quote:They passed up on two blue chip players who can play right away. If they want to invest in a QB that high, the QB has to at least has an equal amount of impact (if not better) than the two players they passed up on.

That's not quite how the draft works. The draft is about how you project a player to turn out not if a player can play from day one. That's how you end up with Derrick Harvey and Quinton Groves on your team. This whole expectation of a top 5 playing from day one is a media creation and the high guaranteed contracts these players rookies got years ago. They no longer are being paid like to 10 players at their positions so those expectations are not as high anymore.


Times have changed. It's that simple.
