Not a good year to get a top pick if you need a QB.

QBs are boom or bust. If he turns into a franchise guy, he is worth every bit of a #1 overall. If he turns into just an average QB, or below, it's a wasted pick, because you still need a QB (average won't cut it). But you have to take the chance that he turns into a franchise QB.

So if he is a bust (whoever he is) do you keep drafting a QB till you get it (the "Franchise guy")? Is Shaub a "Franchise guy"? I would take Shaub for 8-10 years as my QB. Put some talent around him and your good.

If "draft one till you get the guy" is the way to go, the team could spend quite a bit before they hit. I realize they can't go anywhere but up at this point, but man, there are just so many holes to fill. Isn't there usually one or more drafted QB per year that just doesn't make it? I just think no matter what they do, the pick must be a stud, the man, whatever you call him, for 10 years or so. I'm still not convinced the "franchise guy @ QB" is there this year.

Yes, you keep drafting QBs until you get a franchise guy. It might take more than one. If I had doubts about a guy after 2 years, I'd be looking for a value pick. After 3 years I'd throw my top pick at the best available, regardless of the value. The longer you wait, the more opportunities you miss.

I think Shaub is a franchise guy if he stays healthy. I've thought that since 2010.

Exactly. And if not, we suck so just keep taking QB's till ya get it right.
