Quarterback Steals
You'll see me draft a quarterback earlier than the 10th round if Pat Mahomes or Lamar Jackson drop to me in the 3rd. Otherwise, I'm holding out until the 10th round or so before I'll consider filling the quarterback position.
The Steals For 2020
Player | Tm | Bye | Pos | SOS | FP | ADP |
Baker Mayfield | CLE | 9 | QB | 32 | 283 | 102 |
Jared Goff | LAR | 9 | QB | 18 | 294 | 118 |
Ryan Tannehill | TEN | 7 | QB | 8 | 287 | 130 |
You'll be fine drafting 2 of these quarterbacks. One in the 10th or 11th round and the other in the 12th or 13th. Be sure to not to reach! My personal cheat sheets have ADP on them so I don't get crazy and jump the gun.
The Sophomore Slump Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes didn't fall into this trend, as others have done before, but the odds are the odds. And as the odds would have it sophomore quarterbacks typically slump. Will Kyler Murray have a sophomore slump? Doubt it. Lamar Jackson didn't, that's for sure! So I guess the trend is highly athletic mobile quarterbacks can buck the trend, until they don't. Here are the sophomores I'm taking a pass on, most of which are obvious.
- Daniel Jones
- Dwayne Haskins
- Gardner Minshew
- Drew Lock

2 Quarterback Draft Advice
So you're in a league that has two starting quarterback slots and you're wondering what to do. Here's some tips:
- Don't pay a lot of attention to ADP. Guys will reach for the quarterback they like.
- Position runs can happen at any moment, you'll want at least 1 quarterback on your team before everyone starts going bananas.
- Watch the bye-weeks!
- Never wait on quarterback and don't be surprised to see the top 12 off the board by the end of the 4th round.
- If quarterback becomes the focal point of early rounds know that this will open the door for some juicy picks in 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds.
At the end of the day I recommend you simply try to have one quarterback out of each tier. So based on your league settings (therefore your cheat sheets) a top 5 guy and so on and so forth down the tiers.
