and in 2000 the 7th QB taken was Tom Brady!!!!!!!!

What does that tell you about drafting a QB?  In case you are NOT a numbers person, here are my personal stats on this list:

Out of 100 players of the list (just the first 5 Qb's), and not counting 2020 players

1 - 20 players names DO NOT even ring a bell -NO memory of their career??
2 - 40 players on the list have started a lot of NFL games
3 - 40 have been backups & started a few games

Now, out of the 100 QB's - about 10 have had what I would call great careers?
Hall of Famers???  Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Rothlisberger, Eli Manning???

So, drafting a QB is a challenge?  Like many, at age 36, Rodgers is in the 4th quarter!  Would I have taken Jordan Love in the 1st round.

Now, to give Jordan Love, some LOVE!  He is an athlete, he has the size, he is able to throw on the run & improvise!  Now, this BIGGEST plus for Jordan Love?  After a year being Aaron, could he be an improvement in the backup roll?  After the LAST 4-5 years, when Aaron was injured - DISASTER!  So, I HOPE in the NEXT 3-4 years he will backup Aaron & we DO NOT need him!
