Reading thru the D Carr thread, it seems the idea of drafting a R1 QB every year has come up again. While popular in theory, how does this strategy play out in practice?
In year one, you take a R1 QB. Assuming you have a JAG you want to replace, and a QB3 that is just that, this new QB becomes QB2. In the (likely) event that he does not win the job, you draft another QB in year 2 and release either JAG or QB 3. You've now paid out R1 rookie deals to both players. How does camp go? Who leads? Who gets reps? If they both are young QBs that need seasoning, what do you do then? Draft another QB year 3 in R1? If so, and the QB you drafted in R1 begins to develop, what do you do? You now have 3 guys you paid R1 deals to in consecutive years at the same position, two of whom will not play for 5 years but can't be cut.
Discuss.
