I wonder how close were the Falcons to drafting Howell, was Purdy even on their board? How often do teams draft 2 QBs in one draft?
All I recall about the QBs in that draft was that everyone was low on Ridder. Most analysts fell out of love with him after his second year in college. While many were high on Howell and expected him to go higher than what he did. Have no idea what most people thought about Purdy.
Wonder why he didn't want to play in East Pennsylvania? Didn't want to learn the game plan, or didn't want to deal with the pressure of playing on a playoff team.
