If everyone keeps their picks I could see this. However, A) I dont see Gabbart making it past #5 and B) There will be some trades in the top 10 picks this year. There is 0% chance teams pick in this order in the top 10. | ||

Julio Jones at 6 is way too high. He's a good player and well worth a 1st round pick but top 10? There is a significant difference between Jones and players like AJ Green and Calvin Johnson. He's just not as fast - despite his great 40 at the combine. I would not burn the 6th pick overall, unless I'm quite certain he turns into Larry Fitzgerald. | ||

To build a team, you build from the inside then out. Not to mention you need a top level QB to win a superbowl nowadays. There are some exceptions (Trent Dilfer) but no one has a defense as stacked as that Ravens team was. | ||

He's got a good team around him which helps out a lot, but sometimes he just plays very poorly. But, he is the NFL's highest paid player :o|. | ||

Super Bowl Winning QBs over the past 15 years (not repeating names for multiple wins): Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Ben Roethlisberger Eli Manning Peyton Manning Tom Brady Brad Johnson Trent Dilfer Kurt Warner John Elway Brett Favre Troy Aikman Steve Young Only a couple of those are not top QBs. Trent Dilfer as stated had one of the all time great defenses. Eli had one of the best D-lines of all time and a reciever make one of the most clutch catches in a super bowl ever. The only other one you *could* argue is Johnson, however, that was his prime (and one of the better qbs at that time) and once again he was supported by an amazing defense. | ||

Yeah I think it's more accurate that he is extremely streaky. He can play incredibly well at times (like the playoffs of the 2007-2008 season), but his passer rating was only 0.8 better than Campbell last season. | ||

But, he is the NFL's highest paid player :o|. he's had six straight 3k+ yard seasons with over 20td's, most people would be rather happy with that. threw a lot of picks last season, but i think that's an outlier and he's shown solid progression over the last few seasons. obv it helps that he has had a solid o-line and good running game, never really had an elite receiving unit either (plax was nice, smith is nice but is really a possession receiver, nicks looks legit now but he's also had to work with the corpse of amani toomer, recently manningham as hixon is on the shelf) | ||

This team needs a goddamn qb for once to make up for the talent that is everywhere else. THINK OF FRANK GORE!!!!! Peterson also won't make it that far. I'm not sure Gabbart will either necessarily. I'm banking on Carolina taking Newton and basically hoping that the Bills and Bengals pass. Eh, Arizona too. But at least those teams have many other holes to fill in addition to QB. | ||
