  • Never a bad idea to open a discussion my friend…

    There’s a lot that goes into QB evaluation…

    Experience, injury history, scheme fit, etc…

    More often than not a team drafts a QB not necessarily based on if they are the best QB, but if they are the best overall fit for their team…

    So let’s take Caleb Williams and Drake Maye for example: Both are fine prospects with tremendous upside… However, team “A” may be more inclined to take Drake Maye over Caleb Williams due to them believing that Maye is better suited for their specific system…

    Franchises are in a position where they would like to draft a young QB on a Rookie contract who can still compete and win… That way the team can allocate financial resources to other positions and not have to pay the QB $50 million per year…

    Doing due diligence goes a long way in this process (Senior Bowl, NFL Combine, Pro Days, Individual interviews, etc). And still sometimes teams get it wrong lol…

    This is why I personally wait to really dive into QB prospects until the end of the regular season and look at the draft order… (Chances are that the 14 teams that made the playoffs that year are pretty set at the QB position). That way I have an initial 18 Team draft order for better reference…

    That’s just me though…
