Agreed.
I was just looking at a recent ESPN 7 round lock and they had the Lions taking Tyree Wilson and Deonte Banks (CB) in the first and Keeanu Benton (DT) and Hendon Hooker (QB) in the second.
The thing about drafting Hooker is that he’s likely not going to be able to address the backup problem this year. Also, he’s old, coming off an ACL and played in an offense that isn’t viable in the NFL. I’m not sold on him. I generally don’t like the idea of using a day two pick an a QB. I feel you should be getting a contributing player on the first three rounds and it’s pretty rare for a QB to be drafted outside of the first round to be actually good.
This is definitely a position I struggle with, because I, also, don’t like the idea of using a first round pick in this draft to try and draft the 4th (maybe 3rd?) best QB in this class.
