![]() ![]() This upside is much harder to find later in a draft, so the best strategy is capitalizing on it early. Three of them (Allen, Hurts, Jackson) eclipsed 100 rushing attempts, and Murray had 88 despite missing time. Simply put, these quarterbacks provide an enormous ceiling given their ability to contribute on the ground as well as through the air, with the possible exceptions of Herbert and Mahomes (though both have flashed the ability). The second argument relates to a theme that has been stressed repeatedly at FTN and one that is apparent among the quarterbacks above: Konami code upside. This isn’t a format where you can hope to get an elite quarterback in the fourth round. This leads to the first argument toward taking at least one quarterback early you’ll miss out on the best options if you don’t.

When should I draft a quarterback in superflex? ![]() He should earn snaps immediately in the slot and may already be the Lions most complete route runner. Brown has a massive opportunity on a Lions team that has nothing but outside wide receivers. While I wouldn't begrudge anyone taking the quarterback who went in Round 2, I would not feel comfortable passing on either of these wide receivers for what is likely a backup quarterback.
