Second part of the hour, the fellas look back at past 1st round quarterbacks taken. C.J. and Stokley discuss which ones were busts, which ones are franchise quarterbacks, and the ones that were just good. The guys do the math and realize that out of 29 quarterbacks taken in the first round the last handful of years, only about four of them are franchise quarterbacks.

The guys wrap up the show talking about C.J. Anderson and the Broncos running back situation. With the team drafting running back Devontae Booker, is C.J. being pushed as the starter? Brandon Stokley is in the belief that if C.J. Anderson comes to camp healthy he will continue to start.
