No higher than #10.
Because of the money paid at the top of the draft, to me you really have to go low-risk with your top-10 picks. Moreover, QBs especially have the issue of fan expectations to deal with, and the pressure to perform immediately. Fionally, drafting a bust QB has long-term consequences much greater than any other position.
All of the QBs in this draft have significant enough marks against them that I wouldn’t take any of them before pick #15 at the absolute lowest, and then only if I had a good QB situation where they could sit for a couple of years. (Not that I’m saying they all suck. I think all of them could be quality starters IF they get in the right situation).
I don’t have a huge list of guys I have strong feelings about, except to say that:
-
Jason Pierre-Paul will have about as many sacks in his NFL career as he had in his one USF season. George Selvie will have a better NFL career.
-
Myron Rolle will be a starting safety in the NFL.
-
Tim Tebow does not get past #13 tonight.
-
Tebow will have a 10+ year career in the NFL.
-
Tebow probably will never be worth a #13 overall.
