NFL Draft

I find the NFL draft interesting. Not interesting enough to watch all 6 hours of the first round, let alone the other six rounds, but interesting nonetheless. I'm obviously not an NFL scout - I don't see players' personal workouts or performance at the combine - but I'm still amazed at some of the selections. For example, the following four quarterbacks were all 3-year starters in the same conference. Take a look at their career stats and try and guess which players were drafted, and in which round.
  • QB A - 55.9% completions, 8.12 yds/att, 55 TD, 25 INT, sacked 30 times, 138.49 rating, 20-16 record, 10-13 in conference, 1-2 in bowl games

  • QB B - 64.2% completions, 7.69 yds/att, 42 TD, 28 INT, sacked 46 times, 138.59 rating, 14-18 record, 7-15 in conference, 0-0 in bowl games

  • QB C - 57.1% completions, 7.75 yds/att, 47 TD, 22 INT, sacked 81 times, 134.33 rating, 29-7 record, 17-6 in conference, 2-1 in bowl games

  • QB D - 61.1% completions, 7.63 yds/att, 60 TD, 34 INT, sacked 68 times, 137.25 rating, 21-14 record, 14-10 in conference, 1-2 in bowl games
