Quarterbacks. In the NFL, if you have a good one, then you have a decent chance of posting a winning record, possibly winning a playoff game, and perhaps even a championship. If you don’t?

Recently I’ve worked on a string of draft prospect prospects that fit the Raiders, breaking down well mainly just the defensive tackles and “X” wide receivers.
