Merged: Free Agent QB Thread

The likes of Palmer, Manning, and Brady might even be worth three first round picks. I know you'll say that's never been done before, but quarterbacks of that caliber have also never been TRADED before until/unless they were kind of "damaged goods" by the time they were. Vick might be worth two first round picks. McNabb, Culpepper, Eli Manning, and Roethlisberger are worth more than a first round pick, but maybe not quite two first rounders...not sure. Leftwich is definitely worth a first round pick, maybe more. Jason Campbell might still be worth a first based on his draft designation and the fact that he's done nothing negative to change that valuation. Aaron Rodgers would probably still be worth a first. Jake Delhomme, even at 30 years old, would probably be worth a first. Hasselbeck has already been traded for a first round pick equivalent and he's played well enough to fight off the age factor so he is still worth a first round pick. Alex Smith is definitely still worth a first in San Fran. Kyle Boller is quietly putting together some coach-saving performances the past couple of weeks and IF he continues that, he'll be back to worth a first round pick...although he's not there right now.

People can argue for the likes of Marc Bulger, Jake Plummer, and Drew Brees being worth a first round pick but in the end Plummer is the only one with the physical talent to justify that and many would have serious questions as to whether Plummer just has things kind of easy over in Denver. I would say that none of them would go for a straight up first round pick (unless it was a really low one like 29-32 range).

Interesting evaluations. So Byron Leftwich, who has bnever had a season as good as either of Brees' last 2, is worth a first, but Brees is not? Kyle Boller, who has been downright terrible, may be close to being worth a first, but Brees is not. Delhomme is three years older, has never had a season as statistically good as Brees, but is worth more than Brees? Whatever . . .
