It featured the following QBs:
EJ Manuel
Geno Smith
Mike Glennon
Matt Barkley
Only Manuel went in the 1st round, and went 16th overall.
Not a single long-term starter came out from that draft.
I feel like this upcoming draft could be similar to that draft class.
I don't expect more than a few QBs to go in Rd 1, and one could argue maybe only 1-2 are even worth a Rd 1 pick.
(All IMO)
Long-time Starters:
- Pickett
Potential to be starters at some point:
- Ridder
- Howell
- Corral
- Willis
Longshot to ever be a starter:
- Zappe
- Strong
- Purdy
- Thompson
No chance in Hell:
- King
- Crum
- Kelly
- Coan
Sleepers/who knows?
- Perry
- Glass
Outside of the first two columns, I only think Perry has a chance to do anything (and that's solely a hunch, my own gut), otherwise everyone else is a wash.
But Pickett is the real deal, I feel; just looks great (not spectacular) on almost all of his tape and the numbers to match. Him being a long-time starter alone, makes this class better than 2013.
But yeah, '13 is probably the worst QB class in history and will remain that way for a long time.
