Roseman is admitting he's intentionally overvaluing prospects in this year's draft based on players in future drafts. This seems like flawed logic.Quarterback value fluctuates wildly, as each individual player develops along his own unique career arc. It is possible for a quarterback to look like a potential star for years and then not pan out, and it is possible for a quarterback to emerge in the year before the NFL Draft and bee a star.Cam Newton went from a Florida backup to a juco star to Auburn's starter to a Heisman winner to a No. 1 Mut 20 coins pick in two seasons.
That's an extreme example, but it's possible for consensus opinions of quarterback prospects to rise and fall very quickly. Just look at mock drafts from last year, which considered Christian Hackenberg the best QB in this year's class, often Connor Cook next, and maybe didn't even mention Carson Wentz.It's hard enough for teams to determine which college quarterbacks will be good when we get to look at the entirety of their college careers, plus their bines and pro days and draft interviews. Hell, it's hard enough to determine which NFL quarterbacks will be good well into their NFL careers.
Look at Bradford: He was the No. 1 pick six freakin' drafts ago, and there are still wildly differing opinions of how valuable he can be to an NFL team.If our fully formed opinions of NFL Draft prospects are flawed, why the hell would you bet the house on buy Madden 20 coins your inplete analyses of college freshmen and sophomores?
Roseman: Doesn't know who the Rams will select first. We know who we're going to get at No. 2.— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) April 20, 2016
