Let's Talk 2016 NFL Draft Quarterbacks

[Keith]

Yes, Hackenberg should be listed. The O'Brien-Penn St. ties are there. Not that the Texans have taken a single PSU player over the last two years, but it could happen.

There's also been talk about Cook being a douche and not much of a team leader. It's tough this time of year sorting between what we can see and what we just won't know about a player medically or personally. Always wary of misinformation.

I have Goff and Lynch at 3 and 4, but at this point it seems both will be taken before any other QBs and likely before the Texans have an honest chance. That said, who knows... this will be an interesting couple months since there is not an Andrew Luck or Cam Newton here that is clearly at the head of the class.

Don't know if I have Cook at the top of my want list, but I agree there is no clear #1, only a top 4 or 6 guys.

And all seem to be projects.

I think they're going to go after Hackenburg. It's only fitting.

He's shown some flaws in the past couple of years without OB around and OB, I'm sure, probably thinks he can fix him. Might be possible to get him in the second round but a lot still to shake out before the official draft. My guess is that the really top prospects won't make it to where we pick in the 1st round.

Playing QB for the Texans the last couple of years has been a meat grinder so whoever is chosen, especially if they are an underclassman, should sit and learn for at least a year... So, we may be looking at another year of Hoyer/Weeden/Savage/whomever placeholding....

I'd like to see Savage get more of a chance next year while the rookie watches from the sidelines.......

I'm still holding on to my hope/theory that our QB room will be Brees, Hoyer, and Savage/Rookie.

I think we're certainly out of range for Goff/Lynch and likely out of range for Cook now. Even at that, I sort of like Wentz's potential better than Lynch/Cook and hope he's there when we draft. If we want a QB in RD1, we might have to move up a bit to get him. As I see it, the Browns, Cowboys, 49ers, Saints, Eagles, Rams, Bills and Jets could potentially go QB. Some (Browns, 49ers, Rams, Jets) obviously to a larger degree than others.

1 Tennessee Titans 3-13 0.188
2 Cleveland Browns 3-13 0.188
3 San Diego Chargers 4-12 0.250
4 Dallas Cowboys 4-12 0.250
5 Jacksonville Jaguars 5-11 0.313
6 Baltimore Ravens 5-11 0.313
7 San Francisco 49ers 5-11 0.313
8 Miami Dolphins 6-10 0.375
9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-10 0.375
10 New York Giants 6-10 0.375
11 Chicago Bears 6-10 0.375
12 New Orleans Saints 7-9 0.438
13 Philadelphia Eagles 7-9 0.438
14 Oakland Raiders 7-9 0.438
15 St. Louis Rams 7-9 0.438
16 Detroit Lions 7-9 0.438
17 Atlanta Falcons 8-8 0.500
18 Indianapolis Colts 8-8 0.500
19 Buffalo Bills 8-8 0.500
20 New York Jets 10-6 0.625

I think a lot of it depends on if the Cowboys stand pat with Romo and go another position (which I think they will), the Saints re-sign Brees (which I think they will), and the Eagles re-sign Bradford (which I think there's a good chance they do). If that happens, I feel we'd have to jump up to pick 11-14 for Cook/Wentz (or QB3), or pick 14-18 for Cook/Wentz (or QB4). If all those guys are gone, Hack might be the next option in RD2, but I think we'd have to move up in that RD to get him. This is assuming some other QB prospect doesn't rise up the board. I think there are few other guys that rate right around where Hack is currently rated. I'm OK with going into next year with Hoyer as the bridge QB, but yeah, they need to address QB now and try something!

After days of deliberation, I'm told that #Saints coach Sean Payton isn't going anywhere. He and GM Mickey Loomis agreed he's staying. Wow

It was a longshot the Saints would go QB in RD1 anyway, but no way they do it now. I fully expect them to re-sign Brees now that Payton is staying and I highly doubt they would throw a #1 at QB as long as Brees is there and as bad as their D is.
