Below is a listing of the QBs we might draft and also for comparison sake the stats for Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. Although Colin's passing numbers are not elite he had 173 carries for 1200 yards and 20 TDs so that has to be taken into consideration.
I think its clear just looking at these stats that none of this year's QBs compare well to Kaepernick or Russell Wilson. Kaepernick is a better athlete than all these guys and Russell Wilson's passing accomplishments are way beyond anything 2013 class has to offer except for Geno Smith.
Based solely on these stats I would say that the only QB worth taking in the first round and a half is Geno. I'm watching video on these guys in the next while, I started off with Tyler Wilson (not good so far). I'll post what I think for what it's worth.
Kaepernick and Russell Wilson are in bold. The rest are identifiable by their schools.
