The Best Bargain Basement QB Picks
-
Here, in one person's opinion (mine) are the best "Bargain Basement" draft picks of QBs in the 2000s. Note: ergo...you will see like only 1 first round pick among this bunch. These QBs status as good bargain fines are based on their productivity...and other factors as NFL QBs:
1. Tom Brady. Pick #199 The Mother of All Bargain Basement QBs (unless you count Bart Starr at pick #200. Lets call Starr the father and Brady the Mother)
2. Drew Brees. Pick #32 (which at the time was top of round 2). Of 9 5000 yard seasons ever in the NFL...Brees has 5 of them.
3. Aaron Rodgers Pick #24. The only first round pick here....but he may be the best playing...so #24 is a real bargain
4. Russell Wilson #75. Two Super Bowl appearances....one win. Pretty good for a 3rd round pick.
5. Andy Dalton #35. While you may not put a lot of faith in him....he did lead his team to 4 straight playoff spots.
6. Matt Schaub #90. Was a good, solid starter for a couple of teams. Good for a cusp 3rd/4th rounder
7. Ryan Fitzpatrick #250. He was the primary starting QB for a season for 5 different teams in his career..8 years overall. For a #250 pick? Incredible actually
8. Marc Bulger #168. Again....such a low draft pick. Primary starting QB for the Rams for 8 years.
9. Matt Cassell. #230. Again...for that low of a pick....a primary starter for 5 years for different teams, plus a solid backup.
10. Kirk Cousins #102. Has produced well for 4th rounder....and could improve mightily even yet.
11. Tyrod Taylor #180. Again...such a low pick. Stuck around as a backup in B-more 4 years, before being primary starter for Bills for 3...and now Browns
12. Derek Carr #36 Second rounder...in theory could be poised to take over the league
13. Dak Prescott. #135 Again, early days for him...but his production is excellent after only 2 years.....another who could clearly climb the list.
14. Nick Foles #88. Third rounder. Defending Super Bowl Champion starting QB. What else needs to be said?
15. Derek Anderson #213. Yes...that Derek Anderson. For a #213 pick can be said to have done as well as should be expected. 12 years in the league....one good year with the Browns as starter.

Here is a list of the Worst Bargains. Fairly high draft picks.....little productivity. I will put these in order of where they were taken in the draft:
1. Jamarcus Russell #1 overall. Laziest, most lackadaisical pick maybe ever
2. David Carr #1 overall. At least Carr has an excuse that Russell does not: he went to an expansion team.
3. Robert Griffin III. #2 overall. Injuries partially to blame. Also, imo, his game just did not fit the pro game
4. Joey Harrington #3 overall. Just not any good
5. Vince Young #3 overall. Mental issues sabotaged his career
6. Byron Leftwich #7 overall.
7. Matt Leinert #10 overall. Didn't have the mental toughness
8. Blaine Gabbert #10 overall. Vastly overrated and over drafted imo
9. Christian Ponder #12 overall. Ditto for him as for Gabbert.
10. EJ Manual. #16 overall. Thought to be the best of a bad class....maybe he was....just goes to show how bad that class was
11. Josh Freeman #17 overall. Seemed like he could have had all the tools at first....then lost his way.
12. Kyle Boller. #19 overall. The good thing here is that it was the Ravens that took him
13. #22 Overall: Johnny Manziel; Brandon Weeden; JP Losman; Brady Quinn; Rex Grossman. Moral of the story.....do NOT ever draft a fuycking QB at #22 again, particularly if you are the Browns.
14. Tim Tebow. #25 overall. Not an NFL QB
15. Paxton Lynch #26 overall. Maybe a bit too early to judge? Probably not. A busted move.
16. Patrick Ramsey #32 overall. Can anyone even remember him?
17. JOhn Beck #40 overall.
18. Drew Stanton. #43 overall. Not a star, not a bargain... maybe a fair backup is what to expect from a #43 QB pick
19. Pat White #44 overall.
20. Jimmy Clausen #48 overall. Better of having drafted a backup OL or DB
21. Kellen Clemens #49 overall.
22. Brian Brohm #46 overall 52 NFL passes
23. Marques Tuiasosopo. #59 overall.
Note, of course, that there seems to have been a lot more bad bargains with 1st and 2d round QB picks than there have been good bargains.

Out of 38 mentioned players both good and bad I doubt it.

I actually really like what I saw on tape of Luis Perez, QB from Texas A&M Commerce.
I don't think he is ready to start as a rookie, but he has a strong arm, a quick release, is very accurate, smart, and cool...
Not sure I have ever even heard of him....so I guess he would be a real bargain basement guy.
Probably a UDFA.
In my research I only looked for drafted QBs. I have no doubt that perhaps over the last 18 years there have been some UDFA QBs that have come in and done a very nice job in the league.
I am not sure I can name them...but I suspect there are a few out there. So if anyone else can name them...great, please do so.

Is your FMU education so deficient that you cannot read simple English?
It is about QBs who have been drafted "later" that turned out to fairly productive, given their draft status.
I would have thought perhaps what with post #3 you may have thought it was a thread about you: total underachievers.

Heath Shuler didn't make the list? David Carr had a much better career IMO. He even lost to Nancy Pelosi, to add insult to injury.

This is just as likely to be a Luke Falk or a Mike white thread. Or Nick Stevens or some other lower rated quarterback that actually becomes very productive in his career

That's a double negative, right? So it's sufficient?

Didn't pay attention to the parameters....my bad.

I'm not going to elaborate on names but since 2000, there have been 41 QBs drafted in the first round. Around 14 outright busts, 9 that underperformed (quality backups to spot starters), 10 that were quality starters, and 8 outright studs. Eli, Rodgers, Ryan, BR, Rivers....
So league wide, better than 50\50 odds you're not going to draft an outright bum qb in the first round. The Browns hit the trifecta with Quinn, Weeden, and Manziel.

This guy could wind up being one of the steals in the draft. I hadn't seen much of him until recently, and he's damn fun to watch. He makes plenty of big time throws and is a next level type of athlete.

I don't know about no double negative.
I just know that you never seem to say anything on here above the intelligence level of third grader. Perhaps you could try to work to improve on that...if you are able.
