Grade our draft

I can't see downgrading the draft on Haener only because he wouldn't be a starter this year as I have seen elsewhere. No QB taken outside of the top ten should be expected to start year one.

IDK Guido. I'm looking at Hooker, Bennett, and others going off the boards before him and when I see them pick Haener, I get the impression that QB was an after thought for this War Room. If it's not a priority, they could have used that pick for a different (less iffy) position of need. I know that any QB picked in the 2nd Round and beyond is really not supposed to be an immediate impact on the roster, but I'm getting an Ian Book vibe with that pick that's kind of like a place holder.

We'll see though. Like someone who quoted Forrest Gump on anther thread: 'You never know what you're gonna get!'

From everything I have heard and read Haener was the target all along. They had done a lot of research on him. He definitely wasn't an afterthought. They were going to get him and they got him at the perfect spot given Bennett went on the next pick and O'Connell a few picks later. And then at the top of the 5th round a run of four more QB's went off the board.
