I agree its a poor class, but people love reaching for QBs. Im thinking 3 go first round.
I agree, the desperate need for QBs will outweigh what appears to be a weak class. If guys like Ponder and Gabbert went top 15 there's no reason why we shouldn't see a couple of first rounders in this draft too.

True, but then people loved Ponder coming off the senior bowl and mike mayock who is highly regarded in draft circles, said that Blaine Gabbert was better than cam newton. That class on paper looks better than this class. Draft day will decide who's right about these QBs.

Don't forget Mark Sanchez going in the top 5. There will probably be two quarterbacks taken in the first round, one being taken in the top 10.

Even so, you know it's bad when the GM holding the first pick in the draft says they didn't rate a single QB in the draft with a first round grade. You have to believe him since he's holding the biggest trump card at the table. If anything, he'd be selling those QBs up so he could slide down. Not only that, but Jacksonville's GM pretty much said the same thing.

It may be bluffing, but even Bruce Arians was like "Matt Barkley isn't that great"

Not exactly draft news, but RIP Pat Summerall. Synonymous with Sunday broadcasts of classic Redskins games in the 80s
