2. Akili Smith 2.0 -- Trubisky 2.0

These guys who played few games against subpar competition do not work out.

At least 50% of all first round draft pick quarterbacks are busts -- this guy has more in common with Couch, Trubisky, and Akili Smith than he does with even someone as "just a guy" like Alex Smith.

His only saving grace is that the line in front of him is not swiss cheese like it has been for so many QBs drafted early in round 1 and look completely shell shocked after getting hit a bazillion times in their first 20-30 games (see Carr, Klingler, Carson Wentz, etc).

In 4 years it will be interesting to see if any of the first round guys get a second contract with the team that drafted -- given the recent history with Wentz and the like ...5 years from now most of these teams will still be on the QB carousel.
