Bulldog
The Legend
But then again Aaron Rodgers was drafted at #24, Dan Marino was drafted at #27, Ben Roethlisberger was drafted at #11 and Patrick Mahomes at #10.
Just because Washington doesn't have a top 5-7 pick doesn't mean the team can't come up with one of the better passers in the draft.
In 2017 the Bears took Mitch Trubisky at #2 overall while Mahomes went #10 and Deshaun Watson went #12.
At the time of the draft all of the chatter was over Trubisky and what he would do for the Bears.
The reality is he was a bust and all of the chatter SHOULD have been about Patrick and Deshaun.
That could happen this year to a more limited extent as well.
While Trevor Lawrence grades out higher from what I have seen than any qb since Andrew Luck, the other passers rated as top of the round prospects ALL come with some question marks that could hamper their NFL careers. None is a slam dunk.
So, I don't necessarily believe 4 or 5 quarterbacks will be taken in the first 5-10 picks. I think that's a pre-draft 'paradigm' for draftniks that believe coaches and GMs are going to pass up potential pro bowl left tackles, rushers and other skill players who grade higher and just close their eyes and pick a quarterback.
