2013 Draft Explained
Really cool article about the 2013 draft.
http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/04/20/2...e-confounding# Some nice bits of info - KC only had 2 or 3 calls about a possible trade the day before and none were serious. Some scouts are wary of Alabama players because they are so beat up before entering the NFL. |

I can't think of a single Bama player that has turned into a legit star. Saban runs them into the ground before they can get into the NFL.

To put an absolute value on those selections, however, consider this: One AFC personnel executive said his team’s grades on all three of last year’s top offensive tackles—Ronnie Stanley (No. 6 to Baltimore), Jack Conklin (No. 8 to Tennessee) and Laremy Tunsil (No. 13 to Miami)—were well above Fisher and Joeckel’s marks.

Mark Dominik, the former Bucs GM, recalls there being maybe 14 true first-round talents in 2013. In an average year, he says, there are about 18. The good news for next week’s draft? “In a year like this, there are maybe 23,” says Dominik, now an analyst for ESPN. “If this ’17 class had a top-tier quarterback, it would be going down as one of the best classes in a long time.”

Man, it is nuts that the two highest picks we had in the past decade were both regarded as dry years for top end talent.

2013? The year the Chiefs drafted Kelce in the 1st and Fisher in the 3rd?
