Also... Smith selected a smaller, lesser known and less powerful agent/group to represent him. If he had signed with, say, CAA, and had Tom Condon representing him...
I would bet everything that the talking heads would be pushing Geno Smith at No. 1 like crazy.
The early draft hype is all about how well and how much the agent pulls the "big-name" media guys' strings.
