Don Banks SI Mock Draft

[O.city]

Is there some unwritten rule that a qb has to be once in a decade prospect to go first overall?

Only in the eyes of the idiot reporters and mocksters.

QB has gone first overall ten out of the last twelve years.


2012: Andrew Luck
2011: Cam Newton
2010: Sam Bradford
2009: Matt Stafford
2007: Jamarcus Russell
2005: Alex Smith
2004: Eli Manning
2003: Carson Palmer
2002: David Carr
2001: Michael Vick

And the importance of the position has only gone up since the 2004 pass interferrence rule change/enforcement.

And one could seriously make the argument that Matt Ryan should have gone #1 instead of #3 in 2008.

And Geno Smith is, IMO, a better prospect at the same level than every guy above but one.

Don Banks is a reerun.

And Star Lotulelei didn't play in the Senior Bowl, so we can't take him either.

Guess we're stuck, huh?

There is now....I guess.

Before the league was as QB-centric as it is now, QBs were going 10 spots ahead of where they would've.

Now that the QB is the single most important position on the field (and it's not even close), evidently it's folly to do what teams have been doing for the last decade+

I'm about to give up on humanity at large simply because of the staggering idiocy of everyone that talks about the draft these days. This mock from Banks is truly the height of stupidity. It takes every single thing I've bitched about coming from truefans and puts it into one article.

From the "let Albert walk" angle to the "Not Luck...but good enough to take at #4", this couldn't be a better example of national ****wittery. All he needed to do was suggest franchising Albert and moving him to guard for the Mona Lisa of dumbshit draft experts.
