Nine out of ten QB's drafted could be classified as a wasted pick then. There's some schools of thought that you should draft a QB somewhere pretty much every year. There are picks "wasted" every year by every team anyway on non-QB's that never make it so you might as well throw one at the wall and see if it sticks.

Any player, regardless of position, that is drafted in the 4th round, spends one year on the team, and you are paying for in dead money two seasons later is a wasted pick IMO.

And you are to expect some wasted picks. There's really no way to avoid them. Might as well waste it on a QB flyer rather than some random LB.

There you go Guido. Trying to argue against me that Ian Book wasn’t a wasted pick. Enjoy your tango alone.

Nope. Totally agree he was a wasted pick. Just pointing out that wasted picks are a part of drafting. But, of course, nobody knows when or where or what pick will end up being a waste. If you never take a chance you'll never get that dance.
