    I’ve skimmed a lot of posts about QBs
    and a lot of posters seem to say things like
    “the 2015 draft-class is not a good year for QBs”
    and I’ve also read a lot of,
    “No rookie 2nd or 3rd round QB is going to come in and do well
    his first year” —

    But are those things true?

    Arent there always good quarterbacks in every draft
    class in the 2nd and 3rd rounds? Yes? No?
    And dont some of them always surprise
    the punditz ?

    Maybe there’s a QB in the 2nd
    round that could surprise us.

    I don’t have the data right now, but I have posted about this before. If you look at the qbs drafted from 2011-2013, the 2nd/3rd rounders actually have a better hit rate than the 1st rounders.

    Part of that IMO is that 2nd/3rd rounders were going to built teams with defenses who could limit what they asked of a qb, while the 1st rounders were mostly going to weaker teams that were trying to build around a new qb.

    QBs that are pure passers or even have the potential to be pure passers are going to be in shorter and shorter supply. The NFL is at the mercy of the college game which is transitioning rapidly away from what is considered a traditional offense. If the Rams want a QB in a more traditional mold to groom for the future or to back up Bradford, they had better get one soon or they are going to have to think about revamping their offense to accommodate what the QB position is becoming.
