brooksfb Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 1.How many QBs drafted in the first round actually live up to expectations? I don't mean "pretty good". I'm talking about First Round Greatness. You can get a pretty good QB in the 2nd or 3rd round. 2.If there aren't that many great ones, why do teams keep bending over backwards to get them?

BG Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Because for all the Marinoviches, there was a Marino, Elway or Manning. However, what is more interesting is how many great QB's didn't come from the first round, which adds to your initial question somewhat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre (round 2), and Brady (Round 6) instantly come to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Don't want to put up a huge list so I'll only name a couple... Patrick Ramsey and Jason Cambell. That about sums it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
