...than taking a QB with your first-round pick.
I know it's probably a little late for this discussion, but I was thinking about it this morning.
First of all, 90% of the QBs taken in the first round won't see the field the first year they're drafted. Palmer, Leftwich, Boller, Grossman won't see much if any action until 2004.
Second, of those first-round QBs that do play in 2003 or 2004 or whenever, how many of them will actually turn out to be quality NFL players? Maybe 50%? Maybe?
I give McGahee a much better shot than 50% at returning to form and it sounds like TD and his doctors do too. Even if the McGahee deal is only a 50/50 shot at greatness, it's at least an equal shot as you'd have if you drafted a QB in the first round.
/me likes the pick.
