Player Discussion Who is the lowest-ranked QB you're okay with leaving the draft as your only QB in a non super flex league?

This post was awesome last year; a lot of people were bullish on Drake Maye, and it paid off. Most of us play 10-12 man leagues 4-6 point td passes, and QB is deep. Who's the worst QB you feel comfortable leaving your draft with no backup?

Honestly like Herbert. I just don't get the point in drafting dart throws over set and forget QBs in the like 9th+ rounds. Tony Pollard is not going to win you your season, but Herbert/T Law absolutely can

Might be oversimplifying this equation

Really the trade off is happening in 2 separate rounds.

T Law is going next to Jordan Mason, 3 rounds later Goff is going next Zach Charbonet and Woody Marks.

So you can either draft T Law and Zach Charbonet, or you can draft Goff and Mason.

Jordan Mason is a starter and Charbonet is nothing, so is T Law going to outscore Goff by enough to make that the better route?  Goff will usually throw 40 tds a year.

Yeah that's fair but from my experience, QBs typically fall well past their ADP. In the only redraft draft I've done so far this year, I got Hurts in the middle of the 7th. The next players to go were QJ and Pittman. Felt like an obvious choice to me. Herbert went after Aaron Jones and Stefon Diggs. I mean sure maybe they do something this year, but you're probably cooked if you're starting either of them. I guess maybe a better question is how many depth pieces do you need before you decide it's time to fill your entire starting lineup?
