Somtimes, being out of range of the consensus No. 1 QB in the draft (and No. 1 pick) isn't a bad thing.

Look at the 06 draft. Specifically, the six players taken after JaPorky Russell. All six likely are multiple Pro-Bowlers. Russell is likely the biggest bust since Ryan Leaf.

Or look at the 05 draft. Think the Packers are glad Rodgers, and not Smith, fell to 22 or whatever it was?

I know there are a lot of people who think Stafford is football jesus. But even if he IS as good as those people think, not drafting him isn't the end of the world - if you get another high-level player at your slot.

I want a franchise QB, too. But drafting a QB No. 1 overall this year isn't the ONLY way to get one.
