Aye, that's exactly right. I'd much rather my team take a QB in the 2nd round. Less pressure to succeed straight away, and gives the team anoter season or two to make sure their is some semibalance of an O-Line to protect him.
The failure of the high-1st round QBs pretty much comes down to expectations and being put in horrible situations IMO. Put a lot of these guys in the 2nd round and I bet their careers turn out very differently.
