With the draft pick value chart, that puts Jernigan's value as a late 3rd/early 4th.

Haha it's by Michael Lombardi

As always, it's worth reposting Parcells' rules for drafting a QB, which actually still hold up very well:
Let's look at this draft class to see who fits the rules. QBs with at least 23 wins as well as being a senior.

Joshua Dobbs
C.J. Beathard
Seth Russell
Cooper Rush
Zach Terrell
Mitch Leidner

So basically a whole host of 7th rounders or UFA guys.

Here's Deadspin's takedown of the Lombardi QB piece.

He also apparently wrote a similar piece before the 2011 draft.

quote:

There might be as many as five quarterbacks drafted in the first round this year, and we all realize not all of them are likely to become winners. We also know that the recent odds dictate that only two of the five will be successful. The key will be evaluating which two.

While there is a perception about Mallett, the reality is much different. With that in mind, my money is on Mallett and Blaine Gabbert being the two to succeed. Each fits the criteria above and has the skill set to lead a team.

Only time will tell who is right

D'Brick missed 1 snap in his career and it was because Mangini pulled him for some futile small-ball gadget play to end a game.

He's been wildly efficient for the last 2 years and you're paying him dirt money. No breathe-holding necessary.

If fact, thinking literally any move the Pats make might not work out incredibly biased in your favor at this point is insulting to the rest of the fanbases.
