[QUOTE="yooperfan, post: 24894, member: 15"] Drafting a QB in the 1st round is extremely risky business. Look around at all the can't miss QB's that were great in college and simply collapsed in the NFL. All of a sudden you have a can't miss guy hauling in very big bucks for being a flop. Just because a QB is a superstar in college DOES NOT make him an NFL QB. In 1972 there was a great college QB at Nebraska who anyone who knew anything about football said was going to be an NFL great. Guess what, The Packers drafted him with their 2nd 1st round pick (# 11 overall) and guess what, he was a huge flop. It happens alot. It seems like most of the really good QB's come out of the later rounds and don't have that can't miss superstar label attached to them when they arrive in the NFL. In 1981 the Packers made a QB from California their #1 pick (#6 overall) and, you guessed it, another flop. That kind of history made me nervous about the Rogers pick. Only time will tell if history repeats itself. I say forget about Leinert and let someone else spend the big bucks to toss the dice. [/QUOTE]
