51st overall-Zach Mettenberger-LSU- No mystery to Mettenberger’s game. Drop back in the pocket, plant, and let it rip. Old school pocket passer. Not much athleticism, but than again you can say the same about Tom Brady too. Has the arm to throw in wind and weather, and make all the throws.
Alternate pick-Jimmy Garoppolo-Eastern Illinois- A lot of people would have taken Garropollo over Mettenberger, but I like the SEC experience over a more raw quarterback who found success in the MAC.
