2018 QB Class - 4 years later (KTO Youtube video)

[RobbRiddick]

Don't know how many of you have heard of KTO but he makes some good content. This is his latest one. Looks good

 

 

 

[Mr. WEO]

I've seen their videos on chip shots and shooting fish in a barrel  

[Hapless Bills Fan]

Thank you, this was a very enjoyable watch and a great break from the 17th thread about Dorsey and our new OC

[Long Suffering Fan]

Well done video.  I am sooo happy that Beane and the scouts successfully defeated math, itself.

 

Wow.  That video improved my mood.

[Real McClappy]

Great Video, that was uplifting. 

 

Go Bills!

Obviously we're all experts on how the 2018 draft class panned out now because it was pretty recent and we've paid more attention to it. But I'd recommend some of the other ones by KTO, just watched the one he did about the 2014 QB class (Bortles!) and it's a good watch

[RoyBatty is alive]

Yes thanks, that was enjoyable.

Mine too. Until that last clip played right at the end of the video. Then it felt like a punch to the gut. Why did they have to show the TD pass with 13 seconds left? 😢 😂

Yeah, hindsight is 20/20.  I would have been more impressed if he did a prediction video about the 2018 class and tell how things went differently.

QB drafts, 2009-2018:

2018 QBs:#1 Baker Mayfield, #3 Sam Darnold, #7 Josh Allen, #10 Josh Rosen, #32 Lamar Jackson

2017 QBs: #3 Mitch Trubisky, #10 Patrick Mahomes, #12 Deshaun Watson

2016 QBs: #1 Jared Goff, #2 Carson Wentz, #26  Paxton Lynch, #135 Dak Prescott

2015 QBs: #1 Jameis Winston, #2 Marcus Mariota

2014 QBs: #3 Blake Bortles, #22 Johnny Manziel, #32 Teddy Bridgewater, #36 Derek Carr, #62 Jimmy Garoppolo

2013 QBs:  #13 EJ Manuel

2012 QBs: #1 Andrew Luck,  #2 Robert Griffin, #8 Ryan Tannehill, #22 Brandon Weeden, #75 Russell Wilson, #88 Nick Foles, #102 Kirk Cousins

2011 QBs: #1 Cam Newton, #8 Jake Locker, #10 Blaine Gabbert, #12 Christian Ponder, #35  Andy Dalton

2010 QBs: #1 Sam Bradford, #25 Tim Tebow

2009 QBs: #1 Matthew Stafford, #5 Mark Sanchez, #17 Josh Freeman

 

The two greatest QB drafts since the merger were 1983 and 2004.  The 1983 draft produced 3 HOF QBs:  Elway, Kelly, and Marino.  Ken O'Brien was also a decent starting QB from that class.   The 2004 draft produced 3 QBs very likely to be HOFers:  E Manning, Rivers, and Roethlisberger plus a decent starter in Matt Schaub.   According to all the draftniks, the 2018 QB class was destined to be "the greatest QB class since at least 2004" with the implication it might be as good as 1983.   The reality is that the 2018 QB class has turned out to be, at best, modestly above average as QB drafts go since most drafts produce 1 top starting QB and 1 or 2 other average/decent starting QB (Most draft classes produce only 1 very good starting QB).  The 2012 draft was probably the only draft in the past 10 years that comes close to 2004, producing 2 top QBs (Luck and Wilson) and 2 decent starters (Tannehill and Cousins).

Interesting seeing them all listed like this.

 

So, from that list, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Foles, Garoppolo, Goff and Mahomes have started a Super Bowl, with 3 of them winning one.

 

Also amazing how few of them are still in the league
