Neither do Justin Fields, or Daniels Jones of the world.

I wonder if any of these draft pundits have done deep delves into QB round and success in the NFL.   

 


 

 

You know you’re more likely to hit on a early 1st round qb than a middle of the draft guy

The chances of a quarterback making even one All-Pro first team is just 4.6%; a 1:25 shot. However, that chance more than doubles when selecting a signal-caller in the first round (9.4%) and rises to 11.9% if the player is selected in the top five. 

Think about that. 

If you are taking a quarterback, and you determine there is one available in the top five who fits your criteria, you have turned your chance of landing one of the top passers in the game from a Hail Mary to a long-third down conversion. It's still tough, but there is a much higher probability.

Not every quarterback is going to be an All-Pro. And failing to achieve that doesn't mean you aren't a franchise quarterback. So let's lower the standard to Pro Bowlers.

6 QBs in round one.

So roughly 10% might make a problem (awful criteria by Fox surprised they used it) 

So one of these guys might make the pro bowl once.

Man the draft is just a crap shoot. 


 

Point being, which I know you know, that it becomes exponentially more of a crapshoot the later it gets in the draft.

Dude knows what hes talking about....

For sure.  He likes Penix but he said that he goes for the home run too often and they he should just take what he can get sometimes.  Manning had the all for broke disease sometimes as well.  I would have loved Penix to be a developmental prospect here... it is what it is.

Unless we had an inside line between the two, we really don't know if this is true other than "pundit inside sources" reports.

Could of just been more lies by the Giants to get a team to flinch and trade up.

The draft is all agents and pundits till about a day and a half before the draft itself.  Full of rumors and misdirection.

I somewhat agree, I think the talent level is better, but not necessarily better or as you put it "exponentially" better at finding a good QB vs the lower rounds.

Even the example you used is a 5% increase from first round to later rounds.

Frankly there are far more busts in the first round of the NFL draft at QB then later rounds, which I believe is mostly due to over reaching at that position since everyone is desperate to find their next guy.

This is all accurate, but also the context is one where if you're drafting a QB in rounds 1-2, you're more likely to be given a chance to start, given the team invested premium assets in your. Some guys rounds 3-7 rarely if ever get a chance to start, and the little they get might be backup work at best. For instance, the guys drafted in the top 12 this year are all going to be given a shot to start most likely at least a couple dozen games, while those in rounds 3-7 are more likely to be considered backups.

I'd be interested to see it expressed not as a % drafted but as a % given a chance to start, say, >= 20 games. The current denominator is all drafted, but I'd like to see it as among those who were given a chance to start 20 or more games, or some similar threshold.

Especially considering some recent drafts have been real duffers for QB's in the first round. Look at 2021-2022. Lawrence is a mid range starter, the rest are most likely backups, or maybe bottom tier starter in Fields.

- Trevor Lawrence

- Zach Wilson

- Trey Lance

- Justin Fields

- Mac Jones

- Kenny Pickett

No way I'm taking any of those guys, pure desperation. Those are 4th round and beyond talent. You don't reach just because the rest of the league was dumb enough to in the 1st with the JJ McCarthies and Bo Nixes of the world.

See, I knew I shouldn't have said a round because I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I saw Phil Simms and his kid's Youtube and they were breaking the 3 of them down and late round picks. I guess I should have said late round instead of 2nd round.

 

I'll go crawl back in my corner of the internet now and let the big boys pontificate.
