It seems to me that this year, way more than years past, waiting on a qb is a very good, albeit risky, draft strategy,
Qb's very important in my league. Bottom line, it's very rare that someone has a team that is so loaded that they can overcome poor qb output and still win a championship. I'm not saying it NEVER happens, jut that it's a rare event.
With that said, the pool of talented qbs is so deep this year that it seems like I'd be a fool to even consider drafting one unit the 7th or 8th round at the very minimum, and possibly waiting until the 10th round or beyond can be a viable strategy.
Here's what I'm finding in my mocks:
If I want Eli, Brady or bortles I have to think qb in the 7th round. Otherwise they are gone.
I think Eli especially is set up for greatness this year. 3rd season in Mcadoo's system. He's gotten better each year. Pass friendly offense. Good receivers. Piss poor defense (they rebuilt the defense but I'm not buying it until I see them shutting teams down).
It might be worth the 7th round pick for him.
But what if you miss Eli or decide to pass on him?
Now you're into that next tier of rivers/romo/Tyrod/stafford etc.
for me, I love me some stafford this season. I'm consistently able to grab him beyond the 10th round. I think people are over him BC he's been wildly inconsistent, he's burned people over the last 3 or 4 seasons, and he lost megaton.
But megatron hasn't been that dominating wr for a few years now. 2nd half of last year stafford tore up the league in cooters system. Now he's tearing it up in preseason (which I'm thinking is going to raise his adp by end of August when most drafts are happening).
I'm liking the rivers/stafford combo.
I think having both of those guys can give you solid and sometimes spectacular points in your qb position this year while allowing you to load up on Rb/wr and maybe a te in the first 10 rounds. Which would give you a leg up on depth at those critical positions over your league.
Im also warming up to taking a flier on rg3 after the 13th round. He's looking good this preseason and he has weapons in that passing game. Coleman, Gordon, barnidge, Duke Johnson, and even Terrell Pryor who looks legit. Shows legs look like they are back under him finally. I think he could end up in the running for best value pick of 2016 if this translates into a monster regular season for him.
What say you? Who are your top 1 or 2 late qb targets if you draft qb late?
