so to answer your question...that's why we didn't take Barkley with a "measly" 3rd round pick...
why waste a pick on a guy who would be fringe roster worthy in the 3rd round?
I've already stated that the thing 3rd-5th round draft picks are MOSTLY good for is they are cheap roster fillers for special teamers and perhaps fringe starters...or if you get lucky you land a Brandon Carr or Jared Allen (1 in 50s)...
no need in wasting that on a QB who apparently wasn't high on your draft board

Russell Wilson was 3rd round. Everybody passed on him too. Too short.
They wish they took him now.
NOBODY knows how this crop of QBs will pan out with the right development.
