This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

QB draft is different by SixShutouts66

It's rare to reach the SuperBowl with a mediocre QB, with Trent Dilfer and Joe Flacco being some of the exceptions. As a consequence, the search for a "franchise QB" causes many college quarterbacks to be drafted earlier than their ranking as "best player" would indicate.

Conversely, once teams have settled in for their starting quarterback they draft for immediate and short term needs. They're not willing (except for the inept franchises) to expend an early pick for a backup QB. So after the first couple of rounds QBs go into free fall (see Jacob Eason).

Fromm's situation was made was by the availability of Jameis Winston and Cam Newton, which seemingly narrowed the number of QB slots open.

Ironically Fromm beat out two QBs at Georgia (Eason and Justin Fields) who were and probably will be drafted higher.
