A MEDIOCRE QB will get more wins than Joeckel even if he's an upgrade over Albert.
And of course, it's quite probable that he isn't...

I agree here. The QB is the most important on the field and needs to be upgraded on this team.

But just saying "this guy is risky, he might bust and it could set us back", is no way to do that.

I 100% agree. But they're not going to draft based on whether or not a guy will bust. They are going to trust their evaluations and either say a.) We have to draft this QB, or b.) We don't.

There has not been a draft in the history of the NFL that had ZERO QBs in it.
It's NEVER happened.
These guys get payed to find "the one".

EDIT: 2002 was another horrid year for quarterbacks. These years do occasionally come about.
