My Crystal Ball for 7 QB's in the 2013 NFL Draft
All, I have rated my top 7 QB’s in the 2013 NFL Draft below. These ratings reflect the QB’s best fit, given their skill set AND what round they will be selected in.

The Sabotage Of The Quarterback
It was only a few years ago when the New York Jets had unveiled a promising bright new star. He was the player formerly known as the “Sanchize.”

It is my opinion that every GREAT team should have a “Leading Man.” If you show...
