Pretty Dumb Question, IMO

The biggest question for most is why was he taken so high? Usually a QB picked that high is expected to be a sure thing starter.

Easy Answer?

Simpson was selected that high because the team (with all the information of which most media pundits, players, and fans don't have access) liked what they saw during the evaluation period, wanted him, and didn't want to lose the opportunity to select him.

Should be common sense.

BTW, the so-called and imaginary sure things at the position don't usually get out of the top 3 selections.
