Yeah, they were morons. Franchise QB over even a HOF DE.

No. You do not pass on a once in a lifetime caliber prospect at the second most important position in the game, unless you have a pretty badass qb prospect like Cam Newton, or Luck.

Look at the 2011 Colts vs. the 2010 Colts or the 2008 Patriots vs the 2007 Patriots.
Can you imagine a single defensive player whose absence would ever cause such a precipitous decline?

If Clowney ends up with 180 sacks he still wouldn't be as valuable to a team as Phil Rivers, even if he's a much better football player. That's just the way the game is played.

Nope. Clowney is a once in a generation talent. You'd be an idiot to pass on that.

2014 - Bortles (?)
2013 - (none) 2012 - Luck, Wilson, maybe Foles 2011 - Newton, Dalton 2010 - Bradford 2009 - Stafford 2008 - Ryan, Flacco 2007 - (none) 2006 - Cutler 2005 - Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers So in the last 10 drafts we have about 13 guys out of a total of 54 QBs drafted in the first 3 rounds who have stuck around or look like they will be able to stick around as starters. It's no wonder a third of the league is QB-poor, because history tells us there is usually about 1 guy in each draft who will make it. Injuries or just not being good enough will claim the rest. It's a sucker bet, but unless you convert one you can't realistically expect to win anything. |

Tannehill has mediocrity written all over him. He's the exact type of "franchise QB" that I've always feared. Not terrible enough to try out another quarterback for the next 10 years, but not great enough to provide consistent success.

For a second there, I thought you were talking about A. Smith.
