Right now to take another chance on a guy in the third or second would be detrimental. We need to protect Sam up front and cement our D - give Sam a chance.

I'm for this. I also don't see a reason to invest a late round draft pick on a QB ever. To me it is either a high pick or nothing based on success rate. I'd go nothing this year.

Yeah I hear you. It is almost like wasting a pick. At the time of that post I don’t believe we signed Brissett so I was still thinking backup I believe. Now do not draft one …unless ya got a guy who you love that falls and falls.

The reason you draft a QB in the mid or late rounds isn't necessarily to get your starter. It's for depth purposes.

QB's go down like any other position. Qb's underperform. If you keep 3 QB's then you need that developmental guy and your back up can be someone like Brissett. Sometimes guys fall like Howell did. That was a pure value pick.

Brissett has hung around the league for a while and is the perfect back up QB or lower tier starter. He was a 3rd rounder.

Always draft QB's because it is the most valuable position on the field and it has been drastically ignored here for a long time.

The last person ( who coached here) who actually got it right was Shanahan. He saw the value in Cousins and could not pass that up. Smart as hell pick. Ron was a little slow but at least the saw the value in Howell.
