Young QB Finally Finds a New Home

After last year’s draft, we ended up carrying QB Walt Johnstone as our #3 man on the depth chart, where he got only a trifle of playing time (and hit one long bomb in his 3/3 passing state line). As a clear bloomer, his stock rose, and we had him out on the trade block all season. This year, we finally got a bite for his services, and we have sent him to Happy Valley for their 2015 1st round draft pick.

Happy Valley is under new and committed ownership for this season, but have not been a major contender in recent years – with 6, 8, and 2 wins in the last three seasons (going backward). So, there’s at least some chance that this draft pick turns into something of note. My best guess is that we’ll end up with a pick something like 1(15)-1(20) or so, which (hopefully) will be a better selection slot than we’d expect from our own 1sst rounder.

Candidly, Johnstone was completely bottled up in Chesapeake, where Brent Sedor is playing like an iron man, and Alex Gerhardt is clinching the backup role with his own creeping. So, this probably works out well – I still believe that Johnstone will develop into a better QB than anyone in this year’s entire draft.
