Charlie Casserly has 7 QBS in 2014 draft class ranked ahead of EJ Manuel

[Ginger Vitis]

On NFLN Casserly has these 7 QBS ranked ahead of where he had Manuel last year

1.Bridgewater
2.Manziel
3.Bortles
4.Carr
5.Garropolo
6.McCarron
7.Mettenburger

Wow.. I wonder if other draft experts think more highly of Garropolo and McCarron than Manuel

[SquishDaFish]

Who gives a ****. EJ is ours now so root for him and hope for the best

[DesertFox24]

Charlie casselry who cares. Teams had Tom Brady as undraftable and Ryan leaf ahead of Peyton. All that matters now is what ej does

[SpikedLemonade]

Casserly is a stubborn bastard. He thought there were no 1st round QBs last year and he is sticking to it.

[Buffalogic]

Lol Mccarron....Oooookay. I don't even really like EJ, but that's just laughable.

He might be right.

Charlie Casserly drafted David Carr #1 overall…

Any questions?

It still goes to show organizational incompetence. If you remember, even last year, EJ was considered a 3-4 round pick by many teams.

At this point, all we can do as fans is *hope that he turns out to be a McNabb type QB

As you like to point out that's 20/20 hindsight. Most teams & QB evaluators had him as top pick.

It's pretty humorous that 'realists' cling to the notion that they can see into the future.

Charlie Casserly is a very handsome man.

Casserly also blew it on QB Heath Shuler 3rd overall in 1994..Maybe he cant evaluate Qbs lol He did well though when he was GM of the Redskins getting a few probowl position players drafted in late rounds.. And in the the early 80s when Casserly was a Redskin scout he recommended to the redskin front office they sign UFAs Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic

I'm not sure that's true and this isn't about being 20/20. This is simply stating he has some really suspect QB evaluations under his belt.

Whatever one might think of Charlie Casserly's ability to evaluate QBs, I think the OP is trying to make an apples to apples comparison that just isn't apples to apples. Last year's draft was last year's draft, and besides different QBs, the rest of the players are all different too. He may well have a lower opinion of Manuel than all the other QBs, but unless he comes out and says, "I like all these QBs better than Manuel," we can't be certain of how he ranks him based on how they are ranked in a mock draft or big board of this year's players. Where is the link, anyways?

When Daniel Jeremiah of NFl.com combines the 2014 and 2013 QB class Manuel doesn't make his Top 5.. After Jeremiah puts Bridgewater No.1 Bucky Brooks says " No.2 is where we put Manuel? He was the 1st Round pick last year" Jeremiah says "Come on Buck" and laughs lol

[Mr. Pink]

We all knew even last year that it was a weak QB draft.

Unfortunately the front office picked the wrong year to decide to finally draft a QB.

Oh this was awesome.

That's true. Just because others had him as 1st overall doesn't amount to much. I hope that we continue to apply this logical sentiment across the board.

This isn't intellectually honest. Draft classes are constantly compared to each other and the best FOs plan ahead with some knowledge of who to expect to become draft eligible.

For instance, it was known ahead of time (via comparisons) that last years QB class was weak. The prior year it was predicted that it would be a very strong class with Luck & RG3. This years overall draft class is very very strong. This is one of the best draft classes to come out in some time.
