I always ask myself a few questions when I start to think about whom I want to draft when the time comes: How early is too early for a player? Does someone else like him as much as I do? How much will last year’s stats sway my decision? How likely is the player to replicate or surpass those stats?
You get the idea.
I have never compiled my own rankings list before. But one thing I know, it is daunting. So many numbers, so many possible outcomes. It’s no wonder I have always left this to the “pros.” But when you want to break into the business, nothing is off the table.
So here I am, ranking quarterbacks. Drumroll please.
