Why One NFL Draft Pick Could Make or Break an Entire Franchise’s Future

Why One NFL Draft Pick Could Make or Break an Entire Franchise's Future

Between those two situations, which quarterback is best set up to succeed. This isn’t arguing necessarily which one is better from a talent perspective. However, in five years, which quarterback would likely be seen as the QB1 by the media?

This isn’t advocating for the Rams to take Simpson even if I do believe that he is a scheme fit. However, it is to say that the label of QB1 doesn’t necessarily matter as much as it’s made out to be for the sake of pre-draft discourse. When it comes to the quarterback position, it is almost always better to take one in the first round and definitely before round three. The hit-rate to find a starter after round three drops significantly outside of a few exceptions. When it comes to drafting a quarterback, the top priorities when it comes to that player’s success are that they fit the offense and that they are entering a strong offensive infrastructure.

If the Rams are looking for a young quarterback post-Stafford, they aren’t going to get the consensus QB1 in Fernando Mendoza. However, that doesn’t mean that they still can’t find the eventual best quarterback in the draft.
