This was the year to take a quarterback early and we were picking at twelve. We should have gone for Rosen. Thirty-one other teams are going to play football without Minkah. We got a starting center and left guard without using a pick. Franchise quarterbacks are very rare and hard to come by. You need to take the best early. The alternative is grooming a Doughty type for years and let him be coached at a high level until he finally gets it, gains some muscle, and grows into the job. You can do that if you have a Tannehill type that is going to be serviceable to good for a few years. This brain trust tried to run with Ryan and Moore who never got a snap with the first team in practice and was never considered seriously as a potential challenge to start. I think every back up quarterback should be coached as if he was a top first round draft pick. That’s been our problem.
