I think we all want to hope Brady plays into his 40s, so there is a fair amount of denial going on about the need at QB.
I'm not loving the idea of using a 2nd on a QB because I'd rather try to win SBs at the cost of some down years later than take a measured approach to staying near the top.
I was surprised at the pick, because I had seen a report that Garapolo had fumbling issues due to very small hands, so I thought that would rule him out
But people saying that there was no reason to pick a QB are in denial. If you are taking one to be Bradys heir, I agree with taking one high, and the comments that he is not a good fit for the system are just stupid, because some guy who watched him play a couple times (maybe) and watched youtube clips saying that he knows the guy is a bad fit for BBs system when BB feels otherwise is just being stupid.
I agree, I was high on Garrappolo (and McCarron, for that matter) because he is the best west coast system QB in the draft and would fit our offense very well. He is quick in his decisionmaking (the most important quality I as a fan look for) and his release is outstanding. He may not have the arm strength of peyton manning and may need to work on a few other areas, but over the next several years he can clean that up. You can improve certain areas, but you can't fix stupid, which Garrappolo is not.
