This was an excuse made in 2009 by so many people "They'll win more games on COACHING ALONE". But this time around, I do believe that's true. |

Congratulations! You've not only chosen poorly and overdrafted a player, you now only have three years to find out if he's your future, instead of four. |

Why, then, is he not the unanimous #1 QB? It's because "NFL-readiness" is less important than long-term potential. |

[quote=Canofbier;9470873]I think it's pretty unanimous that Barkley is by far the most "NFL-ready" QB in this class, and would have the least amount of adjustments to be successful in an NFL offense in his first year.
That's completely untrue. Barkley won't be able to throw for scouts until March 27th. He didn't play in USC's bowl game, didn't play against Notre Dame and had an "off" year as compared to 2011. No one knows if they're getting the QB from 2012 or the guy from 2011. Plus, his arm strength was questioned before the injury and will be under even more scrutiny now. Quote:
This isn't 2003. Any team that needs a starting QB likely sucks ass. If the available QB needs to sit a year, you don't take him #1 overall. |

In the scenario that the Chiefs take the best player at a valuable position at #1, that player they take either plays guard his rookie year or he sits on the bench. According to you, the Chiefs overdrafted the best overall player. Your philosophy sounds great. It really does. The problem is the Chiefs are an entirely unique situation. No pre-packaged franchise-building strategy applies this year to them. They've just got to play it by ear, make one decision at a time, and do the best they can to acquire talent, then see where they're at in 2014. It's the PERFECT scenario to draft QB at #1. Who the **** is going to blame them? There is no "coulda shoulda woulda" game that the draft guys can play. They can't say, "Oof. Should have taken the tackle and let him go masturbate on the bench for a year. Should have drafted a non-elite player at a non-priority position. Should have taken a pass rusher that would only play on 3rd downs. Should have taken the 4th defensive linemen in the 1st round in 6 years." By taking the QB, they're STOCKED at options for several years. They can completely check "QB" off the list of needs for many seasons, and possibly an entire decade if Geno or Alex turn out to be phenomenal players. |

Guys must contribute immediately. You can't draft them with the notion of sitting first rounders for a year because then, you've only got them for three more years. First round draft picks receive four year contracts, with a fifth year as a team option. The option year has to be exercised by the team after the end of year three, but before the start of year four. Draftees taken in rounds 2 through 7 receive four year contracts, period. Undrafted free agents get three year contracts, period. So if you draft a QB #1 overall and sit him for a year, you're giving yourself two years in which to determine if he's the future of the franchise. That is extremely risky, IMO. |
