Perhaps most teams have learned the lesson of past years. And, stats are overrated in today’s college offenses, and defenseless defenses.This one is BAD, but at the time I remember thinking 2013 was particularly awful as well
2013…
Notables: EJ Manuel (Round 1, Bills), Geno Smith (Round 2, Jets), Mike Glennon (Round 3, Buccaneers), Matt Barkley (Round 4, Eagles), Ryan Nassib (Round 4, Giants), Landry Jones (Round 4, Steelers)
The 2013 draft class as a whole is unremarkable. Manuel was a surprise first-rounder; many expected Smith to be the first to be selected. Some even suggested that Nassib was the best quarterback in this class. Barkley was projected to be among the first players taken in a 2012 draft class that included Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III as the top two players selected. Instead, he returned for his senior season at USC, didn't have as impressive a year as he did as a junior and suffered a shoulder injury.
