Hi Dane, love the insight and very excited for draft season! To the best of your recollection is this the worst QB class in recent times? Additionally, what player regardless of position would you bet on in this class to be a future all pro consistently? — Anthony F.
I’ve been scouting players for about 15 years now, and the worst QB class during that time was easily 2013. EJ Manuel was rated a fourth-round pick, but because the Bills took him first round, he’ll always go down as a first-round bust, even though it’s not his fault a team over reached. Three other quarterbacks went top-100 that year: Geno Smith, Mike Glennon and Matt Barkley. Yuck.
Your second question, I don’t know if this class has a player who will be a consistent All-Pro. Those guys are rare, and we just don’t have any no-brainers this year like Chase Young or Myles Garrett. If I had to bet on someone, it would probably be Tyler Linderbaum at center because I could see him becoming a top-three center in the NFL.
