INSIGHT

QB Draft Trends and Sanders' Fall

  • Most quarterbacks drafted in the first round are viewed as starters; second round QBs are often back-ups with few exceptions.
  • Teams usually don't draft QBs in the second round unless they actually believe the player can start, making Shadour Sanders' fall notable.
ADVICE

Be Patient in Volatile Drafts

  • Don’t trade up too aggressively unless the difference in player quality is clear and worth the cost.
  • In a volatile draft class, wait and pick good players later rather than overpaying early.
