I hear stuff like that I wonder who they are talking about. Two years ago, before the season started, who knew about Goff? Who knew about Wentz? Yes, this is a down year for QBs but you never know and, hopefully, next year we're still drafting in the 20s. so the "franchise" QBs may still be out of reach, particularly if they are *obvious* franchise QBs.

Any QB who is on the radar for more than 1 season ends up falling after scouts get time to pick them apart. A year ago Deshaun Watson was a super prospect and #1 pick. He was better than any QB in the 2016 draft. Then a year went by where he won the national championship and his draft stock did nothing but fall. I never buy it when they project QBs a year out. Half of those 5 will be day 2-3 picks by next year. And some strong armed small school guy with limited tape will be the first QB off the board.

What happened to Watson in 2017 was 17 interceptions, more than any other QB considered in the top half of the draft. One reason the draftniks are smitten with Trubisky is that he was only picked six times.

I'm not disagreeing or pushing Watson. I'm saying the longer a guy is a QB prospect the worse it is for him. More film means more chances to find problems. I can't think of the last QB prospect who was a big name, came back, and improved his stock. Andrew Luck I guess.

Yes, and when you get right to it, Andrew Luck hasn't lived up to his own billing, partly due to injury and partly due to a dumb-ass front office that hasn't built a good team around him. It must be tough having to be "the next Manning". There's no denying his talent but I don't think he's provided the results everyone expected.
