The big thing about rd2 QBs is that there has to be a reason why they turned things around to become a starter.
Geno Smith - Came from a gimmick West Virginia offense that just threw screens. Had to endure the Jets and find stability.
Jalen Hurts - Was 21 when drafted. Athletic freak.
Jimmy G - Played at Eastern Illinois.
Andy Dalton - Underwhelming tools but productive
Derek Carr - Underwhelming tools but productive. Threw a lot of screens in college IIRC
Drew Brees - undersized (not really a factor anymore if the hands are good. Brees would be a top 5 pick in modern NFL)
Sanders could work his way into being the next Derek Carr. Carr family is known for being difficult. Seems like the Saints have already been down this road. I'd imagine they would go a different direction but maybe thats me.
