Would be totally happy with a Webb selection at 27. I could see Andy falling in love with one of these 'athlete' type QBs, but what you want in a franchise QB is a pocket passer with a head for the game, who will have the ability eventually to read the whole field well. Webb has prototypical size and seems to have the intangibles. He'll have to learn a pro offense and he needs coaching to correct decision making, but that's why he's available at 27. He is an upside project.
I know the anti-Alex crowd will screech about the deep balls, but this is the right kind of QB to invest in, and he is about as good of a prospect as you are ever going to get at 27 and his flaws could be correctable.
