Why pick a qb?

True true. The majority of QBs in the league are white and pocket passers, and that could skew the success rates of pocket passers in comparison to scramblers. However, most guys who are great runners aren't very good passers. Guys like Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair in the late 90s, early 2000s can be very successful because they have the ability to run AND pass. But both of those guys were better passers (at least in terms of mechanics if not statistics) than VY when they came out of college. Maybe VY, with the help of an NFL coach, can drastically improve his passing. But if he can't, I don't think he'll be successful.
