[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 900404, member: 8895"] My approach with respect to draft picks, is akin to understanding that Santa Claus isn't real. Most quarterbacks fail, and a significant number of draft picks fail as well. Understanding that quarterback is the toughest position to draft and understanding that Aaron Rodgers will not play forever makes it imperative that the team get started trying to develop his successor sooner than later. If Love develops awesome, if not they get a do over later. Why else was Brian Brohm selected in the second round in 2008? It's not whether or not a GM of rudimentary basement level competence thinks a QB will succeed. It's whether or not the chance of success is reasonable enough to justify the pick. I'd argue that even a 33% chance of successful development is worth the shot at this point given how hard it is to draft a QB. If a GM does not understand this then he has no business being a general manager on this league, he should be writing draft analysis for publications and blogs. [/QUOTE]
