Cool question, I didn't forget. (Okay, I did, but it came back to me)
Farlow went on to be very proficient, and is still in the league. He was drafted by Seattle and started for them for 11 seasons, until leaving as a free agent after the 2018 season. He signed in 2019 with Philadephia, where he was their full-time starter last year. And he is signed to a nice long term deal for the next four years there with a heavy bonus - so he's probably going to retire an Eagle.
Darnell Farlow
164 starts, 36,487 yards passing, 206 TD, 121 Int, 88.4 QB rating
Career record: 83-83-2
Nothing to really complain about. But I wonder how differently things might have gone if we had taken Farlow at pick #10 (rather than seeing him selected right ahead of us at #9) and used the later pick on S Bullock instead? Just swap the two quarterbacks... where would we be right now?
