Quote:That's the beauty of it.  The Russell Wilson will be the Russell Wilson because you won't know who it is.  That being said, I guarantee one way of not finding Russell Wilson will be to draft a punter in the 3rd round.  

Actually, there was a lot of talk before last year's draft about where Wilson would land.  He had a fantastic career at both Wisconsin and NC State, including a close Rose Bowl loss to a juggernaught Oregon team.  The big question was his size, which has not turned out to be an issue.  Everyone knew about him, and most thought he was overdrafted at the time.

 

Not now.

 

Which is why I think it will be McCarron.  His career is there for everyone to see, and his abilities are overshadowed by his excellent team.  He completes a lot of short passes, yes.  But he does complete them, and seems awfully comfortable in the pocket.

 

If Manziel falls out of the first round, he's a candidate as well.  The talking heads are big on David Fales at San Jose State, who had an awesome Junior 2012 season and a rather pedestrian 2013 senior season.
