It would be nice if they could stop drafting the obvious busts first


I get that finding the HOF QB is a crapshoot. But if they stopped wasting high first round picks on QBs that anyone that watches CFB can call, that would be a great start. Obviously there are those that you have no reason to believe will be anything but good, but fail, often because they are drafted onto a team with no talent and expected to win on day 1 (Tim Couch for example), but the obvious failures like Akili Smith, EJ Manual, Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russel, RGIII, Mitchy Hurricane, etc.

Pick them in the 3rd round and view them as projects, awesome, but these guys had obvious holes in their games that led them to be busts (watching EJ and Mitch against our defense showed you exactly what was gonna happen when he played NFL level defenses).
