2017 QBASE numbers are out.

 

Basically this is a historically bad year for QBs and none of them should be drafted in the first round let alone the top 10.  QBASE does not like Trubisky because of his lack of experience; it puts him in the same class as Mark Sanchez and Brock Osweiler.  It actually gives a less-bad rating to Patrick Mahomes, but Mahomes comes from an Air Raid offense that QBASE tends to overestimate.  Joshua Dobbs gets rated about the same as Trubisky, as his stats showed significant improvement his senior year. 

 

I've read that this year's WR class is even worse, but there are some really outstanding prospects at RB.

College teams are no longer providing the sorts of quarterbacks that thrive long-term in the NFL. Air Raid offenses do not thrive in professional seasons because the athletes on defense are too good, and offensive players in college are not up for running a "pro-style" offense.

 

Something has to give. NFL teams need to get quarterbacks somewhere. But this is a dismal class, not just for quarterbacks but in general. Taking Trubiscky #1 overall is virtually suicidal.

Predictions on how badly the Browns will screw up the draft this year?

 

Story right now is that the ownership and front office want to draft Trubisky at #1 while the coaches want Garrett.  It sounds as though they're trying to move up from the 12th pick to be able to get both.  In my opinion they're better off taking a couple of mid-round QBs that might turn out to be adequate, rather than blowing a high pick on Trubisky who might turn out to be adequate.  The way this draft is laid out, the Browns have the opportunity to put together a truly fearsome defense that can keep them in games, and would be better served by doing that than adding more names to The Jersey.
