cribbs is the man Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, it may not be as bad as you think in terms of drafting decent QBs that late. Just since 1970 the following QBs have been taken with the 150th pick or lower (number on the left is their draft selection position: 275 Steve DeBerg 34,000 career yards, 196 career TDs 333 Bill Kenney 17,000 yards, 105 TDs 214 David Woodley only 8500 yards, but did start a Super Bowl 210 Wade Wilson 17,000 yards, 99 TDs 285 Doug Flutie 14,700 yds, 86 TDs. Not counting Canada. Was discriminated against because of height or would have had much better numbers 255 Don Majkowski, 12,700 yds, 66 TDs 159 Stan Humphries 17,000 yds, 89 TDs and a Super Bowl appearanc 227 Brad Johnson 29,000 yards, 166 TDs, and a Super Bowl win 166 Jeff Blake, 21,700 yds, 134 TDs 222 Trent Green 28,500 yds, 134 TDs 219 Elvis Grbac 16,775 yds, 99 TDs 197 Gus Frerotte 21,300 yds, 114 TDs 187 Matt Hasselback 33,150 yds, 194 TDs and a Super Bowl appearance 199 Tom Brady 40,000 yard, 300 TDs, 3 SBs wins and 2 losses, obvious HOFer 168 Marc Bulger 22,800 yds, 122 TDs 250 Ryan Fitzpatrick 11,000 yards and 68 TDs so far 230 Matt Cassel 12,000 yards and 76 TDs so far 213 Derek Anderson 10,000 yards 53 TDs Yes, the above represent only about 6 percent of all QBs taken at 150 or lower since 1970, but, you do get the occasional diamond in the rough. Who knows. Wow. thanks for doing some research. I guess no harm in taking a flier on a QB you like, I just feel that the percentage of finding an above average QB that late is so low that we might as well not take one because I dont care about QB depth, so its kind of all or nothing. But interesting stats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wow. thanks for doing some research. I guess no harm in taking a flier on a QB you like, I just feel that the percentage of finding an above average QB that late is so low that we might as well not take one because I dont care about QB depth, so its kind of all or nothing. But interesting stats! And you very well may be right. Here are the QBs the Browns have drafted since 1970 at the 150 or below slot: 183 Spergon Wynn 316 Keithen McCant 296 Clemente Gordon 328 Steve Slayden 174 Mike Norseth 158 Terry Nugent 282 Steve Michuta 261 Craig Nagel 330 Brian Sipe 151 Mike Cilek About a 1 out of 10 ratio for QBs taken that low. Perhaps the Browns should draft a QB as low as they go considering that Brian Sipe at slot #330 is THE lowest they have ever taken a QB in the draft....and of course he also happens to be the Browns career leader in attempts/completions/yards and TDs.

Vagitron Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Even the NFL feels sorry for us. Steelers got 3 or 4 7th round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowburn Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Love the new development regarding comp draft picks..... I'm gonna put a positive spin on this while giving the H&H wrecking crew the benefit of the doubt that they really do know what they are doing as they lead the mighty Browns back to the promised land as top dog in the manly AFC north.... as someone most astutely expressed on this board,, I too don't have a clue how to put a winning team on the field. I be leaving it to H&H to rebuild through the draft. they have successfully converted me. may Jesus and Mother Mary bless all their endeavors. May we Browns fans leave behind the seasons of despair and regain our dignity as we resolutely believe that yes......this year things are gonna be fuckin' different... Go Browns!!!!!!!!!
