I say this all the time but the best QB classes produce three long term starters, and as Dal said, many of the players who become good starters weren't seen as sure fire can't miss prospects. I'm not in love with any of the guys this year, but it seems like there are roughly ten different players who might have most of the tools to be decent. Is it that much of a stretch to think two or three of them might be good? I don't think so. For as bad as the rest of the 2011 first round turned out to be, the second round was pretty good.
I wouldn't touch a QB until day 2 at the earliest. That's why guys like Tahj Boyd and Garrapolo are on my list. You can't convince me that the "top QBs"in this draft are significantly better than these guys later on. I think in the situation we are in we can draft a guy late and sit him behind Glennon and maybe a vet backup to learn the system. But anyone looking for a Day 1 starter in this draft is going to be severly disappointed.

Boyd stinks. In all likelihood the top guys are considerably better than him.
Always thought he sucks and still think he sucks. Boyd would be a wasted draft pick that we can't afford this year.Tony Pauline @TonyPaulineFollowPackers scout "based on what I'm seeing Tahj Boyd is not draftable"
One possibility would be to draft a Mettenberger or Murray....coming off injury ...in.the later rounds and let them fully recover while seeing what Glennon can do this year.

I agree he may need more coaching. But that's part of my point. All of these guys need coaching to start at the NFL level. Would you want to draft a guy @ #7 who needs time to develop and improve or draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th round....With proper coaching he could be a starter. Same with Garappolo. No one knows how their game will translate at the NFL level.
Bridgewater is a fantastic QB prospect and is going to do great in the NFL. Manziel is a wildcard but Im a believer and I think they majority of people are as well. After that its not that great of a class. For the record, I personally believe Bridgewater is a cant miss QB prospect.
Some players have potential to get better with more coaching and some don't. Boyd is who he is.
He IS who we thought he WAS!

You have your opinion. And I have mine.

Yea. What would they know? Oh tell Brian Brohm, Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzan I said hi. Great QBs.

Don't listen to this guy. He thinks he knows his stuff, but he doesn't.
