You flat out DO NOT need to draft someone in the first round anymore to have a shot.
And with that said, Smith was the #1 overall. So shut the **** up, dumbshits. I mean really. The guy carried the god damn team in the playoff game and some of you are still talking about how he didn't make a play here or there. I swear to Christ I wish you bitches would get ****ing komodo dragon AIDS.

You never did. Montana was a 3rd round pick.
The problem is, a lot of the top QBs were correctly identified as top college prospects, and were taken in the first round. So it really helps to have a high first round pick in the draft, like going for Bridgewater this year.
The other key element is QB development. It is so underrated. People act as if pro quarterbacks are self-developing. Astute development of a prospect with slightly lesser physical and mental gifts beats ruining a top prospect with incompetent development.
you have a perfect example in Alex Smith. You would think a first overall draft pick getting $50 million would be a teams single top priority, yet you can see how the 49ers botched his development until Jim Harbaugh came along in year 7.
If Andy Reid is a QB whisper like Bellichick or McCarthy, then you should be able to develop a 2nd rounder into a franchise QB, if you pick the right guy.
