You also don't realize that every draft is different, sometimes there is a boatload of talent, sometimes there isn't.

Nick Foles is not a better QB than Alex Smith, Wilson is not a better QB than Smith, and while I'm all for taking QB's after the 1st round, we needn't be so caught up in drafting a 1st round talent, especially with the last 10 years of drafting being evident of that.

You wait for "your" guy who works in "your" system, and if need be, you throw everything and the kitchen sink at whoever owns the draft spot to move up and get him.

That being said, I'm excited about Bray and Murray, they've certainly seemed, thus far, the best QB's we've drafted in a long time, despite their likelihood to be career backups.
