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