agreed, BUT get that guy as far down in the draft as you can and still make sure to get him would you really have wanted Flacco as the #1 pick overall? it ain't like we are one player from the SB and we can be further down and still get Geno if he is the dude |

Jake Long was drafted #1 in 2008 are you saying you wouldn't draft Flacco #1 over him? this should be a lesson for everyone, the lesson of Jake Long anyone who thinks a LT is worth a #1 pick but a QB isn't is a ****ing moron

If the player doesn't pan out then the person that drafted that player gets hung for reaching and not coming up with a plan that works out. The person probably loses their job because of that pick as well.

Don't know about that. I would think that Cassel had a lot to do with P ioli being let go. Granted it was P ioli's BS but he stuck by Cassel and it cost him his job.

(I say this as a guy who really likes Flacco) Anyway, that's really irrelevant to the discussion. Smith is a much better prospect than Flacco. And there's no Dorsey in this draft. If we want to talk QB in that draft, in a perfect world we either trade up to Atlanta and take Ryan ourselves, or they take Dorsey, nobody trades up to #4, and Ryan drops to us. |

Teams now know that without something resembling an ace at quarterback, you're just spinning your wheels in the current incarnation of the NFL. |

Jimmy Johnson called Christian Ponder the NFL's worst QB this past season. Where do you think that team would be if A.P. was replaced by a Vick Ballard? 1-15? 2-14? Teams will inevitably reach for a few years because of the new CBA but once they realize they ARE reaching and that these guys aren't worth their draft position, we'll see things get back to "normal", i.e., pre-2010. |

I think teams might start giving said early drafted QB less time to show one way or another tho. Instead of the basic 3 years, it might be 2. |

Once coaches and GM's are routinely fired for reaching and over-drafting quarterbacks, the madness will end.
