Looking the the previous drafts, there are only 3 or 4 QBs, at best, who were better prospects from 2002 to 2011.
Looking at those drafts, the only #1 overall QBs that I would consider better prospects would be Carson Palmer and Eli Manning, other than Luck.
From where I sit, and to the best of my recollection, there are only 5 or 6 QBs that actually had fewer question marks in these drafts.

Here is what I don't get MilkMan. IMO the success of last years draft class in my mind would only make teams want to draft QBs and play them early on in there careers. IMO success from rookie QBs is a good thing for pro football and that more QBs comming out of college can find success. Cam Newton had a hell of a rookie year and this year followed up with that having 3 QBs going to the playoffs.
So why is this so hard to grasp that Geno Smith is worth the #1 pick? When rookie QBs have success that should open the door for future prospects to be taken early in the draft. I am dumbfounded that these people don't consider Geno Smith a top prospect worth takeing #1. I am not saying he is a run QB either but a pocket passer that can extend plays like LUCK can even though he is not Andrew Luck so I'm not saying he is. Geno Smith can make a name for himself in the pros.
