No its not. Read my other post. a college DB may appear to be a really good NFL talent, but we havent had very good luck drafting DBs that high and them playing at an NFL-level right away. Anyone we draft at 5 should not only be a starter right away, but they should also be in pro-bowl consideration their rookie year. They need to make an immediate impact.
I don't. I want Leinhart behind an upgraded offensive line with a 2nd round running back. However, Drafting a QB when you have a bad OL is 1000 times smarter than drafting a RB when you have a bad line
running backs careers are short. As I stated, we'd be wasting half the RBs career behind a bad line. By contrast, QBs can easily play for 15 years. They also generally take 2-3 years to develop. It actually makes alot of sense to draft a QB before you fix your line and then let him sit on the bench for 2-3 years so that by the time your line is fixed, the QB ready to play. It just doesnt make much sense to draft a QB in the first round when you dont have a good line AND he's not NFL ready. If you're going to select a project QB, it might as well be a later round one. Unless you really think a QB is the next peyton manning, there's not much differnece between a 1st round QB and one taken in the later rounds if theyve both spent 2-3 years on the bench. It really becomes a matter of picking a QB that has the skill set to fit the team's offensive system.

you can never say that you never truely know 100% that any one player will amount to anything in the nfl
we haven't had much luck doesn't mean much if we is gone and there is a new gm in place. and there are db's that make very smooth transitions to the nfl look at byrd this year and talib last year. in an ideal world it would be grat for all top ten picks to be pro bowlers right away but in the real world we know that is not possible
i agree 100%
again i agree, and imo i don't think any of the qb's coming out will be great starters in the nfl from jump street, there are alot of really good prospects but i wouldn't want any of them jumping behind center on this team next year
doesn't matter what postion it is they need to match our team which is somthing some one didn't used to give a f about, thankfully he is gone
