Every year I read this bullshit about how there's going to be 10 QBs taken in the first round, and then it doesn't happen. Why? Because of value. Teams aren't going to rush to pounce on QBs in this draft. This is the worst QB draft in quite a while, yet people are already talking about 5-6 Qbs in the first round.
Safe to say, I ****ing hate this whole mantra of "you have to take a QB #1", or that bullshit "Due to the new CBA it isn't risky to reach on a QB". Bitch, its risky to take a QB you don't think can start in the NFL, period.

Reid took McNabb with his first pick. Everything he did in the draft after that philosophy-wise came with him already having a QB. As for all these top 10 QBs never happening, you yourself pointed out plenty of teams that went after QB's the past few years.
I am not asking for Reid to take someone he doesn't think can start. I said several times that it if Reid thinks they are the best QB and think there is a chance they won't be there in the 2nd, they shouldn't **** around. We have the #1 pick. You don't need to have a backup plan because you have the first pick. Andy Reid came in and took his QB right away in PHI. All his drafting after that is not evidence of how he will handle a draft when his team doesn't have a QB. Same with Dorsey. They had Favre.
Speaking of hating draft ideas, I hate the one where you forget how important the QB position is and risk losing your(coaches) #1 option just because you feel there is a chance you can have your cake and eat it to.
