Tyrod Taylor? I mean he's a great college QB but he'll probably be at best, a Charlie Frye, and that's if he's lucky.

C. Frye doesn't have moves like Tyrod does he? Hate to say it, but that's probably a fair assessment otherwise, Tyrod will be lucky to be a QB in the nfl as I think most teams will not look at him as a qb.

That said, 5th round or later, the kid is solid, mature, could return punts & maybe develop into an nfl qb. He is not a run-first qb, but he runs well.

Sorry, I meant Charlie Frye as a reference to overall production, not playing style. To be more specific I meant that some team will draft him late and through some chain of events (ie injury to established starter or no clear number 1) he'll get a chance to start. Now for a game or two he might show flashes that he belongs in the pros but eventually the team will realize he's a backup at best.

Personally I have two main approaches to the QB position, at least with the Shanahan's in charge. Either draft a QB in the first round or take a fallen first round QB (Smith, Russell, Leinart, etc) and try to see if you can get at least a solid starter that can get you into the playoffs.

The second round QB is my least favorite strategy because outside of Drew Brees who was selected in what is now the first round and Brett Favre no one pans out. Ironically it's the third and fourth round guys that have a better shot as signal callers after the first, but the guys you draft in those rounds certainly aren't the type of players you bank on as the Vikings have learned with Tavaris Jackson, who though a second round pick, was drafted to a team that had everything around him (line, receivers, running game, defense).
