Ian Book: How do you like the pick?

A long term back up QB option has been need ever since Chase Daniels. I really can't hate it. Not every player is supposed to be a starter. Depth is king. We been using unsustainable stopgap solutions for back up QB for about 4 years. With getting a considerable younger QB, we can risk getting a cheap back up and hope he blossoms.

Payton did not draft Book in the 4th round to be a backup QB, he already had that in Hill and Simien. Book was drafted with the eye on the future and Payton thinks he can develop him into a potential starter.
