Which class do you think'll be better?

I have no idea why, though. I guess desperation and bad scouting? Even his college numbers aren't impressive... 60.9% completion, barely a 2:1 TD:INT ratio despite playing in the Pac-12.

Same reason why Daniel Jones went 6th overall in 2019, probably. Some draft just aren't good QB drafts, but teams need QBs regardless, so they vastly overdraft them.

Which frankly blows my mind if that's the mindset.
There are some stopgap vet QBs who hit FA every year.
Teams need to scout the draft prior to FA and if there's not a QB or two they really like, get a cheaper vet QB to hold you over until you can get that stud.
Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, and Andy Dalton can get your team some wins.

What it probably is though is teams overvalue their ability to develop players.
They see a player who has some good traits but areas of improvement and they think they can fix that player.
Turns out that many teams are not good at doing that, especially at QB.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Patience has paid off!

Sorry for Party Rocking!
