re: What QB would you be OK with in the 3rd round?

But if teams had your philosophy you're not getting Russel Wilson or Tom Brady or Brock Purdy or Drew Brees or Nick Foles or Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott or Jalen Hurts or...

Right but that’s what I’m saying. That’s an exceedingly small number of QBs over the course of 2.5 decades.

Of that group only Brees (top 32 picks), Hurts were second rounders. Only Wilson was a third rounder.

Now if we do the number of failed QBs it would be a large number of players.

If we did pro bowlers from other positions it would be an astounding number of players.

I’d much rather play the odds that I’m drafting a pro bowler at another position as opposed to the one or two 2nd or 3rd round QBs every decade or so. Like I said you’re just as likely to get that diamond in the rough franchise guy in 4th or later seemingly. In the 2nd or 3rd you’re more likely setting a valuable pick on fire.

The players he mentioned combined for 11 superbowls

Every draft is different and every player has to be evaluated as an individual. Zero front offices are going to use your theory as a rule of thumb.

And 8 of those came from round 4 or later. With Brady accounting for almost all of them. Kind of making my point again that historically that’s 2 and especially 3 are a dead zone for successful QBs.

Such solid combination of ignorance and confidence

Kyle McCord may be the steal of the draft.
