Former Illini QB Nathan Scheelhaase going first overall in a NFL mock draft? In what upside down world does that happen? Obviously, Scheelhaase won’t go anywhere in any of the seven rounds in the real NFL mock draft, but this is an all Big Ten NFL mock draft, and in reality there have been zero, I repeat ZERO Big ten players taken in the top ten of the NFL Draft during the past five years.
This Big 10 NFL mock draft comes to us courtesy of our friends at Hammer and Rails. The SB Nation Purdue blog.
1. Houston Texans – Everyone says that the Texans need a quarterback, so they are taking, who’shouse? SCHEELHAASE! That’s right! The Nathan Scheelhaase era has begun! He is the most experienced quarterback possibly in the entire draft as a four year starter.
So who did they mock to the Bears?
14. Chicago Bears – Since the Bears once again have a highly over-rated quarterback ehy pass on the large number of highly rated and better QBs to pick up another fearsome piece for their defense in Max Bullough.
Draft Day is finally here! 2014 will be remembered as the year that the NFL Draft totally off the rails and completely jumped the shark. Did you see NFL.Com mock draft of Star Wars characters?
This is the year that the NFL Draft was moved back two weeks, giving us media types way too much free time to talk about it. Combine that with it being Johnny Football’s class, the most over-covered athlete of all time, and no consensus #1 or #2 pick, and it was perfect storm of non-stop 2014 NFL mock draft media over-saturation.
NFL mock draft. NFL mock draft. NFL mock draft! We have to see every single NFL mock draft everywhere. We always need to look at a NFL mock draft.
