Will Levis

NOBODY made that claim. My point was that you shouldn't spend significant draft capital on QBs with the intent to flip them later for picks. History tells us that rarely works out. Obviously, teams should be on the lookout for franchise QBs. The problem is that past round two those guys are exceptionally rare.

I think the argument could be made that finding the truly elite QB is exceptionally rare and extremely lucky, no matter how or where you can find one. There are lots and lots of first round QB busts, never mind the second round. There were lots on this board that wanted Malik Willis in the first round in the ‘22 draft.
Finding one is hard. It’s why Denver gave up a king’s ransom for Me3.

And Me3 isn't near elite..
It's been years since I've seen so many non elite QBs in the NFL.
It's very hard to be called elite by me but others standards are
lower and I'm used to it.

Those same ones who wanted Malik want a QB taken no matter what
Never mind the bust rate or the holes on the lines that need filling.
