Official 2017 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

[bikerack]

I was reminded of the old Bill Parcells rules for selecting a QB...

1. The quarterback must be a senior. . .because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback
2. He must be a graduate. . .because you want somebody that takes their responsibilities seriously.
3. He must be a three-year starter. . .because you want to make sure his success wasn't a fluke and to know that he has been "the guy" for a significant period of time.
4. He must have 23 wins. . .because big numbers don't mean a whole lot if you don't win.

1. Watson was a junior.
2. He did graduate...
3. He was a 3-yr starter but his first yr was cut short by injury.
4. Clemson won 38 games in his 3 years...even when you take out the ones he was injured for, it is over 23.
