Matt Moore should have been drafted too.
There is a serious problem in this league evaluating the position. Every team should invest more into scouting it and above all, coaching it.
The problem with scouting college QBs is judging pocket presence. In pocket mobility is what separates successful QBs from busts.
Some team is going to take a chance on a stiff like Anthony Morelli because he's going to go to the combine and star in the underwear olympics. He'll pass the eye test, he'll measure well then he'll step on the field and make every throw one could ask for.
He'll line up under center once camp starts and teams will see why he was a stiff in college. He makes Bledsoe look almost clairvoyant in sensing a rush.
Contrast that with a guy like Romo. He's not physically imposing, his arm strength is mediocre, he's not very swift of foot (slow actually if you use the 40 as a barometer) but he's slick in the pocket and his eyes/brain seem to process things quickly. Plus, it's not just Romo. Recent NFL history is littered with somewhat successful QBs who don't literally "measure up" such as Jeff Garcia.
The morale; teams should spend more time on looking at tangible measurements that seem intangible to most. More pysch testing, more visual processing testing and more "stress" level testing.
