If Barkley sucks in the NFL, it is because he sucks, not because he went to USC.

I know that because it's fricking logic.

Does Tebow suck because he went to Florida?

Does JaMarcus Russell suck because he went to LSU?

How do you explain Kyle Orton and Curtis Painter?

What does this have to do with anything?
Every school has bad players at certain positions.

Isn't it possible that the future crappiness probability for a position is higher at one school than other schools?

So college coaching has nothing to do with how a player turns out? Gotcha.

Well considering all of these qbs didn't have the same coaches, your statement doesn't mean anything in this particular discussion.

Kyle Orton and Curtis Painter went to Purdue. If a school is that important, then why aren't they as good as Drew Bees, Jim Everett, or Lynn Dawson?

I'll tell you why. Because they are individuals who will be as good or as bad based on their individual talents, work ethic, etc, not where they went to school.

Again, Barkley may be great. He may suck. Either way, his going to USC has no bearing on his quality as a QB.

A few years ago, a QB dropped in the draft; many cited the recent list of QBs coached by Jeff Tedford and their lack of success in the NFL.

That QB was Aaron Rodgers.

It has nothing to do with barkley! What he's asking is will it affect who might remain in the draft for us to pick. Drink some coffee, man.

Patrick o frick off. Can someone be a fan of both?

And I stand by my post. If you dwell on every fricking tweet and psychoanalyze what it could mean to the team and its draft positioning, then you need to get a grip.

Calm down Francis.

That's a really lame cover up. Just admit you completely missed what he was talking about and be done with it.

The cover up doesn't even make any sense. He specifically asked if the guy thought Saints were drafting Barkley. Complete fail by him, but he stands by his post lmao.

as to the point of the original post- currently I'd give odds as this:

1 QB drafted before #15 90%
a 2nd QB before #15 50%
a 3rd QB before #15 25%

Certainly the more picked at any position we aren't targeting is better. Please take QBs, WRs, and interior OL. Don't be fooled by need though. Whether KC, AZ, Buff, or whoever, if there is a QB they want but not as high their draft spot then trades will happen. Those teams could trade back or trade up from their high 2nd rd spot.

Of course the more draft currency you have (picks) the more leverage you have. Here's the multiple teams with more than their standard picks in the first 3 Rds-

Cincy- two 2nds 37, 53
Miami- two 2nds & 3rds 42, 54, 77, 82
StL- two 1sts 16, 22
SF- two 3rds 74, 93

Likewise teams with less currency-

Carolina & Chicago- NO 3rd
Clev, Indy, Oak, & Saints- NO 2nd

Last year was typical. Out of the 32 draft spots only 14 were to the original owners of that spot. In other words, trades were more frequent than staying pat. 3 draft spots were traded more than once.
