Actually, you assume when you draft the QB he will hit his potential around years 3-5 (see A.Rodgers, A.Smith, M.Stafford, etc). It does not make sense to draft a QB for a team ready to win-now --> that team would go with a FA QB. This is what happened with the NY Jets, who would have benefited from a veteran QB instead of Sanchez for the past few years. Even exceptions like Cam Newton & Matt Ryan will reach full potential only after a few years.


Drafting a QB may make sense for a team ready to compete within the next 3-5 years, which is exactly what we are.
I'm starting to think we're not going to be able to get the top QBs at pick 7, esp if the Colts & even Cleveland pick up QBs. We may need to pick up a veteran FA instead..
