Why a QB this year isn't the move

The reason this matters is teams in the top 5 have bad teams around these QB's. Teams have traded up and found success with QB's due to the teams being better than the draft slot they took their guy, but normally that happens in the back half of the top 10 because teams are coming from mid to late teens.

The answer is Luck, who was hit so often because of a bad O line for years his potential hall of fame career was cut short. If you go past Luck the list doesn't look all that great with a guy like Matt Ryan or Cam Newton maybe being your next best examples.

Quarterback has the highest bust rate in all of football but that isn't a good argument against taking one if you have a chance. As you said in your first post QB is the most important position and if you don't have one and have a chance to get one do the legwork. If there is a guy there that you believe can be a true franchise star QB you take him no matter what...
