Not drafting a QB a mistake?

Agreed.

What's your take on not drafting a QB?In Scot I trust. We have two QBs that might work out. I can only go on what others say about how good the draftees were, that there wasn't a really good prospect out there for us. Glad we got Scherff, whether he plays G or OT.

Sure we have 2 QBs that might work out. But those same 2 QBs might fail and if they fail we start next season back at square one with no QB and quite possibly no HC.

Garrett Grayson was considered by many, including Jay's own brother, as a pro-ready plug and play QB in this system. There were positive comments about all of the QBs. Its easy to say well the QBs weren't good that's why we didn't draft them but we don't know.

What we do know is that we have question marks at our QB spot and no QB signed for the 2016 season not even a development QB. I can't think of why that's not a mistake.

....So no, i don't think it was a mistake, regardless of how this year's batch of qb's do.

There will be more qbs available next year.But you can say that about any position: "there will be more _______ available next year."

If both Griffin and Colt fail wouldn't you rather have a QB hand picked by the HC then not? I don't understand the logic that both QB can fail yet NOT having a draft pick QB waiting in the wings is okay.

Look at Seattle as the basic concept. They spent the first two years I believe strengthening their team before investing in matt Flynn and Russell Wilson.

Or from another perspective, any late qb would start at best as 3rd string with very little chance to play. Every draft pick we took likely has atleast the shot to play ST. A drafted qb would simply be a wasted roster spot/draft pick this season

Agreed.

We took best player available, so at anytime in the draft a qb was not a good pick. So I feel fine.

Let's talk this year qb crop, maybe d- on a good day. Wasn't a lot out there.

As someone mentioned before, next year class will most likely be stacked. Maybe 4 first rounders right now...so if this years goes bad, Jay is probably gone and McC will get to chose his coach. With his new coach will get to pick his new qb. I think that's the route this is going if cousins and rg3 don't pan this year.

I don't think very many coaches were..... Thrilled with any of the qb's in this years draft. Was there any team that really tried to go up and get one?
As has been intimated, fix the line and some other things
Then......

No. What would have been a mistake is using/wasting a valuable draft pick and reaching for a QB that ends up not making the team. We had too many other basic needs to be worried about a #4 developmental QB that our GM was not high on. This draft was a weak qb class. the world will not implode.

I think the scenario you laid out above is the definition of a false dichotomy.

Lol so according to you its either we don't draft a QB or ~Scott wastes a pick reaching on a QB he doesn't like that won't make the team.

Well wow we certainly dodged a bullet there, lol.

I don't think very many coaches were..... Thrilled with any of the qb's in this years draft. Was there any team that really tried to go up and get one?.Like with any prospects in any draft some coaches and scouts will like them and some wont. Only time will tell.

For me its as simple as this:

Would you agree that QB is a position that needed to be addressed?

Was that area addressed?

If McLovin spent two or three picks on QBs to address the issue at QB and none of them make the roster, the QB position would still need to be addressed.

Instead, he invested in guys that have a legit shot at making the roster and immediately contributing on special teams. His picks simultaneously (through BPA) build depth on a very thin team.

I'm in favor of BPA even if it doesn't address an immediate need such as QB.

I don't think it was a mistake if our picks were higher on our draft board than the QBs still available.

I would like to see how the QBs on our roster play with upgraded pass protection combined with running the ball effectively while not playing from behind by two touchdowns.
