Yeah drafting QB's in the first round is too risky…

Go the safe route and draft left tackles instead.

Oh wait...

At least half of those 1-30 guys were developed by the team that drafted them.

I'm not going to lie, the little news ticker that I got about Bradford going down made me hope that Daniel would get traded or something.

There are exceptions of course… Drew Brees in New Orleans and Manning in Denver, but history shows that the draft is usually the way to go.
Dawson
Unitas
Plunkett
Theisman
Williams
Hostetler
Young
Favre
Warner
Dilfer
Johnson
Brees

That's 13 out of 48 (27%), a fair number of exceptions to the rule. More than 1 in 4 SBs have been won by QBs who were not playing for the team that drafted them.

It does if you draft the right QB, no matter what round it is. You just have to have a little good fortune. Also, identify your guy and pull the trigger. Don't do it just to do it. It's not like picking out a new flavor of Doritos, it's a big investment. Guys can be found on the retread end as well but good fortune is a big part of that as well obviously.

We told you Bradford sucked.

Exactly. The definition of insanity.

Of course, that is assuming the goal is to win a super bowl. I am convinced it is to be competitive, putt butts in the seats and make it to the playoffs.

eh - Sucks about Bradford but you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

Chiefs Pantalones 08-25-2014 06:21 AM
This Chiefs fan/tweet is why we fail. I didn't know Sacc was on twitter...

@TSRFraizer: Alex Smith is a poor man's Aaron Rodgers

IF the Chiefs ever took the chance and drafted a 1st round QB again, he would probably turn out to be the 2nd coming of Ryan Leaf...Because Chiefs.

John Dope 08-25-2014 06:45 AM
The game has changed over the last decade. It seems like no one here wants to recognize that. The more it has become a passing league, the less having a first round QB seems to matter as far as Superbowls go.

Steron 08-25-2014 06:50 AM
Sucks for Bradford and Rams fans. He seems like a good kid. The hit didn't look bad. Heck, he didn't even get knocked down. It's a shame.
