This is the deepest QB draft in maybe 3 decades. 6 guys could go in round 1. We would be idiots to not draft a QB in round 1. We will likely not have the opportunity to pick this high again. If we don’t take a QB now our chances of finding “the guy” dwindle significantly and we could be facing years of mediocrity.
The stats are clear- the vast majority of top QBs come from the top half of round 1. This is our chance and we can’t blow it. Sorry MHJ fans we need to let him go and pick a QB even if he isn’t named Maye or Williams.
If we take MHJ or a tackle round one we will be mediocre for years and have a very hard time finding a QB without either totally tanking another season or trading away the future to move up into a top 5 pick. Retread vets like Mayfield or Tannehill aren’t taking us anywhere but mid-ville.
People in favor of MHJ or a tackle in round one need to say where they think we will get a top QB because they sure as hell don’t grow on trees and finding a competent guy outside the first round is damn near impossible. It’s mostly damn near impossible outside the top 5-10 picks so let’s not fuck it up and make sure we get a great QB!
If you’re actually suggesting we waste our 3rd overall pick on Penix, Bo, McCarthy or Ewers you need to be banned from the war room on draft day
