Rookie Quarterbacks

Fields wasn’t top 5. Bears traded up to get him at 11.

As far as a recent top 5 QB busts go Sam Darnold was certainly looking like one in NY. But Joe Brady and Matt Rhule seemed to have straightened him out. I wouldn’t call Trubisky a total bust, but he was an awful pick. Especially considering Chicago traded up for him, and what other QB’s were on the board.

Then you have guys like Jamies Winston, Marcus Mariota, and Blake Bortles. I guess it depends on your definition of “bust” but all these guys are pretty close in my book. If a team doesn’t even give a top 5 QB a second contract that’s pretty bad.
