With the NFL Scouting Combine starting on February 23rd, analysts are discussing and debating who should be the overall top pick. Most say that it will be QB Andrew Luck of Stanford. Some think QB Robert Griffin from Baylor.
The Colts hold the overall first pick as they did back in 1998. Back then, it was a debate over Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf. The Colts selected Manning and the rest is history. The San Diego Chargers had the misfortune of drafting Leaf. He was a total bust and a waste of money for the team.
The Pats had the same predicament back in 1993 with their overall first selection. It came down to Drew Bledsoe and Rick Mirier. I remember many of the local "experts" wanted the Pats to select Mirier. Bledsoe changed the history of the team forever, while Mirier played for several different teams.
No matter what happens, there will always be discussion about teams passing on Tom Brady until the 6th round and the 199th selection.Of the six quarterbacks selected ahead of Brady, only Chad Pennington ever had any type of NFL career.
