I think Kyle is more concerned with the player himself and his mold vs. the round. We know 3-6 QB's will go in the first round every year and 90% of them will be coming from a spread offense. Obviously, taking a QB in the first round can certainly improve your probability. Hell, I had us taking Trubisky and Peterman just to be safe and ensure the most important position is taken care of to start a rebuild; that, and knowing how long it takes to learn a WCO. If we got KC, great, if not, no worries...full year to sit and learn and then compete with Hoyer next year.
Will there be a QB that has the exact mold for what Kyle is looking for AND have more upside and projected to go in the first round?
If so, I have little doubt ShanaLynch will do what they can to acquire him aggressively.
Kyle had Beathard as the only QB he wanted. That should tell you all you need to know about what he thought of the entire QB class and even more so because we had the #2 overall pick and were in prime position to take the first QB off the board.
He knew the one QB he wanted would be there in the 3rd or 4th rounds. Will that repeat next year or will an even more talented QB with the mold he wants be there in the first or second round?
We will see...I think all 3 of the top guys most certainly have traits that kyle covets. Let's not make s**t more difficult then it needs to be. All teams want a smart accurate QB that has an NFL caliber arm. It's not like kyle has the QB position all figured out and the rest of the NFL are full of dummies lol....Do some teams take more of a risk on upside/talent/need vs who fits the system sure, but if you're staring at 3 very good prospects that very well could be FQB well let's stop f**king around and draft one lol.
And imo if winning 4 games is what it takes I'm fine with it. I don't want to be competitive for one yr if it affects our future....let's see what these young kids have this yr, let's see who's earned a contract for 2018 and lets see if CJ has any sort of a chance of being anything more than a backup. That's what this season is all about for me...not making the playoffs or winning 7 games, cause I don't think we're remotely close to that yet.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that.
As to the QB's, I don't think teams are dumb as they are dealt a delivered hand and that's the landscape they have to work with. Back in the day, the trend was on pro style offenses at the college level and getting the best of the best from that group translated better into the pro game and offenses run at the NFL level.
Now the emphasis is more on athletic running QB's who take every snap from shotgun, no huddle and one read and run with mild accuracy.
Can you imagine the scouting reports on Joe Montana and Phil Simms regarding their 40 times, 3 cones, bench and arm strength? LOL
I'm just saying teams are forced to massively project because of this movement or drastically change their offenses.
But Kyle won't change his whole offense to accommodate an RGIII of Kaepernick and those were two first and high second round picks.
Because of the landscape, Kyle's #1 QB just may be sitting there in the 2nd-4th rounds now.
