The NFL is much better at identifying QB talent now than 15 years ago. We see less spectacular busts, and more quality players from unheralded programs. Look at NE's very own Garoppolo, a "no-name" from practically a Div 2 school taken in the 2nd round!
That said, I wonder where a hypothetical rookie Ton Brady would go if he were entered in the current 2015 draft? Would he go sooner than 6 - 199? Same? Worse?
My throw of a dart vote - 4th round.
Basically a bit better, up a couple rounds from 6-199.
He still gets mostly overlooked, but the current NFL think tank identifies his arm, height, awareness and overall potential talent a bit better than back 2000. One could even argue it is BECAUSE of the success of TB/BB that these changes in QB draft focus and improved acumen have occurred.
