they must be hearing something from a few teams.

 

I'm not as surprised(although top of the 2nd does seem high).  When you draft a QB in the first round, you are expecting them to be the guy and to start almost immediately.  But after that, you are just drafting on potential, on a guy who can sit and learn and develop.  A guy like Aaron Murray will never be a top 15 starting QB because he just physically cant do it.  Same with David Fales.  Same with Tajh Boyd.  

 

But Savage, he looks like an NFL QB.  He has the arm of an NFL QB.  At the end of the day his biggest weakness is inexperience.  But he has shown flashes of big time play.  If you are looking for a guy to develop who has the potential to be a starting QB, he is what you want.  You draft Fales and Murray to be clipboard holders and great team players.  You draft guys like Savage or Mettenberger because they at least physically have the chance to be a capable starting QB.  Odds are they wont be.  But at least their ceiling is at that level.
