Drafting a QB is gambling on a young kid.
Yes you can help him and devellop him (Alex Smith, Josh Allen, even T.Lawrence).
You have some day 1 gems : Justin Herbert, RG3
And you have Manziel, J.Russel, Josh Rosen or Ryan Leaf.
Id say im happy thinking we landed a middle of the pack QB with a middle of the pack first round pick.
Andy Dalton kept going to the playoffs, Blake Bortles and Tebow went to AFC championship (i dont know who let them in).
If we can field a top 5 D with a fine rushing attack, Pickett can go to the playoffs too !
That is how most teams operate.
Josh Rosen, who you just spent the 10th pick on, not looking good enough after 13 starts? Draft Kyler Murray.
Sam Darnold not showing much through 38 starts? Draft Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson sucks? Bring in Aaron Rodgers.
Even the best teams operate this way.
Just gave Carson Wentz a big contract but he’s starting to falter? Draft Jalen Hurts.
Don’t think an average QB in Alex Smith is good enough to win Super Bowls? Draft Mahomes.
