2. "None of the QBs are good enough to justify the #1 pick" accounts for rankings in a vacuum, where Chance Warmack or Dee Milliner are considered to be more valuable players than some QBs with pretty good chances at being awesome NFL players
3. It doesn't take into account the fact that teams who draft that high need to make their picks based on what's actually going to make their team better. How many estimated net wins over a season is that player worth to the team? Over a career?
4. On a similar vein, it only accounts for the bust factor. It doesn't remotely consider the possibilities of hitting on that pick of a QB or how likely that is to happen. It's ****ing ridiculous to think that Andy Reid and company couldn't make ONE of these QBs into a top 15 player at his position in the league. Draft classes of QBs like that simply don't happen anymore in the modern NFL, where gimmick offenses, shotgun, wide open terminology, slimmed down playbooks, and highly restrictive rules for defenses make QBing so easy to anybody with an accurate arm with a good release, okay pocket presence, and the ability or will to learn as much as he can.
I've got more if you want'em
