One of the ‘Big Blue View rules for draft success’ is “If you don’t have a franchise quarterback, get one.”
That rule says “If you need a franchise quarterback, think there is one available when it is your turn to draft, and pass on drafting him shame on you.”
There is a caveat to that rule. It reads:
“The flip side of this rule is do not take the quarterback in the first round unless you are absolutely convinced he can be the face of your franchise for the next decade. You can’t pick a guy just to pick a quarterback or because Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, some other TV talking head, media member or the fan base says you should.
