Busty McStink has the same amount of points as Ovi in the past month. Do with that as you will.
- TheSabresTaco


So that means he has the same value as Ovechkin

I’m still hoping we trade him

No, I don't, but apparently you do. You're the one that keeps insisting Beane said he wanted McCown, when you've yet to provide even a shred of evidence to support that.

What the article is saying is relax, there's a lot of time between now and the draft.

She has been kind of female dogy lately. Something about my snoring (I don't snore ).

I guess that happens in pregnancy tho ;x


I actually am interested to see how Ullmark looks. I always enjoy watching Eichel play.

Nashville has some studs worth watching too.

Last I checked that doesn't stop other teams from moving up to draft a guy they want

He could also end up being Aaron Rodgers.

Or we could just not do, draft a bunch of linemen, and continue this track of sucking for the next 10-15 years.

- ImThatGuy


The issue is that QBs are like goalies in hockey...you don't really know what you have until they're on a pro field/rink.

I understand one could be Aaron Rodgers, but that's kind of my point. Aaron Rogers was drafted 24th overall in 2005. Alex Smith was taken 1st overall. Jason Campbell was picked the 25th...

3 QBs taken in the 1st round. The top pick is simply a decent, game manager-type QB. The 2nd QB is the All Star Aaron Rogers and the next pick was a bust.

From there it's a crap shoot, most are busts. You get Kyle Orton, Derek Anderson, Fitzy and Matt Cassel out of the next 11 QBs taken...

2012-11 QBs taken, 3 of them drafted in the top 10 (Luck, RGIII and Tannehill) but right now the best three from that class are Wilson, Luck and Cousins...so the 1st overall hit and the others were better yet drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds
2013- 11 QBs taken in the draft, not one was worth a damn
2014, 3 QBs taken in the 1st round, the best QB of the draft is probably Derek Carr (a 2nd rounder)

My point is that QBs are a crap shoot. We don't necessarily get a starting QB, much less a franchise QB by moving up. I'm not even sure it heightens our probability of getting one all that much.

Best way to get an all star QB is by drafting them often, not necessarily early.

And we have a boatload of free picks usually teams trade the first next year and a second and another first depending on the situation

Rhino, chances of finding Aaron Rodgers is better at the top of the draft though. That's undeniable. I think the Bills are gonna be the Jeffersons soon.

I have no issue drafting a QB in the 1st and 3rd this year

Who are the elite QBs in the game? My list would be:

Big Ben (11th OA)
Brady (199th OA)
Brees (32nd OA)
Rogers (24th OA)
Wilson (75th OA)

Wilson is a stretch I know, but I think this shows how QBs aren't necessarily guys you can just bank on given draft position. They come from "different area codes" (luda voice).
