I know people always take QBs high but geez the risk on them failing would just drive me nuts if I were a general manager. Rightly or wrongly I have the sense an offensive tackle or speed rusher is easier to grade out and project at the next level.

Theres not that much risk in taking a qb high anymore. The money is nothing. If i were Jacksonville or someone else in a state of perpetual terribleness i would just take a QB as a high pick every damn year. One of them is bound to pan out and its not gonna cost much to get rid of the shitty ones or have multiple qbs with that type of contract

I just think it's really, really hard (if not impossible) to win a super bowl without having a "franchise qb". Yes you can take safe picks year after year and build your lines but until you get that qb you are just stuck in the mud.

I would personally try and find "my" qb if I am one of the teams that have a top 10 pick year after year. If that means drafting a QB every two years bc the guy I picked isn't panning out then so be it.
