Look at it this way when Lebron James came out he was a shore fire good pick, are any of these QBs that shore fire?

I don't know that any QB is ever "sure fire" in the draft. Many questions surrounded even Peyton Manning as part of the draft process.

Yeah, many scouts, if not most, had Leaf rated higher for his arm strength. The last consensus #1 QB pick I can remember was MIchael Vick. Even if he hadn't gotten in legal trouble, I think people would still debate his status as a franchise qb. (he did help them sell a hell of a lot of tickets in ATL though)

Funny thing is even with Vick the Chargers traded out of that pick

yeah, they made up for drafting Leaf by doing that trade & getting LT/not getting vick.

and Brees and Nate Kaeding (of course they didn't get much out of Brees in the long run)
