Why not drafting a QB at No. 1 may be the smartest thing for a desperate team

Why not drafting a QB at No. 1 may be the smartest thing for a desperate team

Anyone who thinks that the quarterback-needy тιтans must be bluffing about not picking Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft needs a recent history lesson.

Yes, we’re looking at you, pessimistic Giants fans.  

Let NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah teach the class: The Jaguars pᴀssed on Jordan Love one year before drafting Trevor Lawrence; the Panthers and Texans (twice) pᴀssed on Kenny Pickett one year before drafting Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, respectively; the Bears pᴀssed on Young and Stroud one year before drafting Caleb Williams; and the Commanders, Patriots and Vikings were among the many teams who pᴀssed on Will Levis one year before drafting Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy, respectively.

Heck, the Bills pᴀssed on Patrick Mahomes and lived to talk about it by landing reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen one year later.
