Check out the failure rate for frist round QB draftees:
Posted by Mike Florio on April 16, 2011, 10:24 AM EDT
Greg Cosell’s observation that teams with needs at quarterback
could reach for quarterbacks in round one of the draft has
caused us to wonder whether the raw number of quarterbacks taken
in round one could eclipse the all-time record for first-round
quarterbacks.
The high-water mark came in 1983, when six quarterbacks became
first-round picks: John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony
Eason, Ken O’Brien, and Dan Marino (pictured).
In 28 years since then, only one class had as many as five. In
1999, Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper,
and Cade McNown exited the board in round one. All five were
picked in the first 12 selections, with the next quarterback —
Shaun King — drafted 38 spots later.
Four quarterbacks were drafted in the first round of three other
drafts. In 1987, Vinny Testaverde, Kelly Stouffer, Chris
Miller, and Jim Harbaugh were picked in the first round. In
2003, it was Carson Palmer, Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller, and Rex
Grossman. Most recently, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben
Roethlisberger, and J.P. Losman entered the league via round one
in 2004.
In 2011, the number of prospects coupled with the teams that
have needs at the position could result in up to seven
first-round quarterbacks being taken. Cam Newton and Blaine
Gabbert are regarded as sure-fire top-ten picks. Thereafter,
one or more of the next five quarterbacks could be picked in
round one: Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett, Christian Ponder, Andy
Dalton, and Colin Kaepernick.

This draft looks to be super heavy in defense...be that as it
may it could work out best for us.
The only one we need is a DT and after that go OL.
However the OL draftees are so slim that we dont get any
quality if the top tier guys are gone by the 29th pick.
This could be another angelo gee that guy looks too sweet to
pass on in defense and we better get him because any good OL are
already gone type of thing.
Of course angelo could always trade up to protect Cutler...
OR...angelo goes OL with the first if somthing falls to us.
But we know angelo...given a DT or OL with the 29th...
where would he go?

I remember last draft and we were hoping for an OT and Angelo
said he had his eye on a OT. That OT turned into 7th round draft
Webb. Thats how much Angelo values OLmen

Yeah thats what scares me Wsh, with it being defense heavy in
this draft, angelo will tag along and get somthing in the first
that he could have gotten in the second.
Passing on OL in the first.
If there is a class A stud DT at 29 then take him...
but also if there is a class A stud at OL then take him first.
