Everywhere I look, I see people calling this QB class "weak" - with many suggesting that none of them are worth a first round pick.
A lot of Bills fans have now jumped on that bandwagon, and are pulling for us to draft another position with the #8 pick. But my question is WHO is really worth a pick that high? The more I examine this draft class as a whole, I notice a serious lack of elite talent at pretty much ALL football positions. I'm not saying some good players won't emerge from the 2013 draft. I'm just saying, I don't see superstar talent at any level.
I've seen people clamoring for Te'o - who even with his fake girlfriend fiasco is still considered the top rated inside linebacker available. But does anyone really see an elite talent with this guy? Watching him play, I don't think he's even in the same ballpark as Luke Kuechley was last year.
I've also seen people pushing for Cordarelle Patterson. Again...this guy couldn't even touch Justin Blackmon or Michael Floyd coming out last year. I like his elusiveness in the open field, but I just don't see the size, speed or route running ability that elite first round prospects usually have.
It's like that pretty much across the board. Matt Kalil >>>> Luke Joekel, Trent Richardson >>>> Eddie Lacy, etc.
Honestly, the only non-QB player that stands out to me right now is Jarvis Jones.
