Discuss: 90's QB Stats

[GTripp0012]

If I'm a GM, theres nothing I won't do if a situation dictates it. That said here are some of my favorite (from a hilarity perspective) selections of first round QBs over the last 5 or so years.

2005-Packers take Aaron Rodgers without doing their homework on him
2004-Bills trade up, giving up their 2005 first rounder for JP Losman
2004-The Chargers work out a trade for Philip Rivers and picks, when they could have easily had the higher rated prospect, Roethlisberger
2003-Kyle Boller.
2002-Joey Harrington goes 3rd overall despite a promising start to Mike McMahon's career. Millen destroys two careers with one pick.
1999-Who graded this draft?

1999 excluded, the interesting thing about these decisions is that everyone knew they were mistakes at the time they were picked. You could make a good case for Rodgers having great value, but the Packers didn't really research that guy, so how can they justify drafting him?

With this draft, what mistake can you realistically make with the QBs here? The only potential mistake I see is someone trading up into the bottom of the first to take a Charlie Whitehurst or a Kellen Clemens, some guy with a third round grade.

yeah, as a 5th round rating, whitehurst is a steal, but now he and kellens have gotten hyped to the point that they're going to both go a round before they really should.

whitehurst has GREAT potential, but sometimes he looked terrible, so you don't really know what you're going to get.
