Agreed. But that does not mean that there is one in this draft. Thus, you build out the other positions in the draft this year and await the next opportunity. Draft or free agency.

Edit: by forcing the selection of a qb, you pest back the improvement/development/maintenance of the rest of the roster because of the premium on the qb position.

Quarterback
Unfortunately, this is a horrible QB draft.

We don't have the #1 overall pick & there is no Burrow.

Don't force something just bc we don't have an elite QB.




this ^^^^^^^

they had options to go for a few decent, while not great, FA QB and passed on them, no im not talking about the watson BS circus

there so be no expectations the draft one this year, in fact, the smart move would be to see if they can shift some later picks to next year and then go after a better class of QB that will be in the draft

maybe they can find a QB that gets released after another team drafts one this year, because winston is not a good QB despite the wish casters fantasies, and dalton is just going to be a good backup for us at this point

Winston is better than any qb in this class. He just needs WRs that can get open. Winston wasn’t the problem last year. It was the WRs

Go get Baker! Look at his numbers and Deshaun's. Very comparable!! Winston sucks!

Exactly - this is a great draft to fill massive weaknesses at WR and on defense instead of reaching for a possible backup quality qb.

Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning, Nick Foles, Patrick Mahomes, Matt Stafford are the last 7 QBs to win a Super Bowl not named Tom Brady.

Should have moved on from Brees and got Brady.

Eli, Flacco, young Russ, old Peyton, and Foles, were not great qb’s when they won championships. That’s just since 2011.

Eta; couple people beat me to it
