I'm not saying the BIG10 doesn't put players in the pros. But I'll let the college nerds hammer it out. The Big10 is boring af and I'm proud to say I barely watch it. ?

Translation: I don’t know what I’m talking about, created another bad take and people are calling me out so I decided to say I don’t even watch their “inferior product” to save face

The last sentence is obvious. But I wasn't talking about just putting body's in the pros. Rather the number of top of the food chain talent that is in the NFL from said conference.

Fairly certain 3 Ohio state WR's just went 10/11/12 in the draft, no?
Didn't some white guy go #2 overall....from Michigan?

You don't watch Big 10 football (maybe even college football in general), but you know it's 'D league'?

Okay - cherry pick one game ??
So if SEC is the A league and Big10 is the D league - I'd like to know what's in between?

2 championships in 20 years. Both by OSU because it's D-LEAGUE! The rest of the BIG10 schools suck.

So, just so I'm clear, going back to your original post ITT - the SEC is the only conference worthy of drafting a QB from cuz the rest are D league?

The original thought was - devil's advocate - Fields maybe OVERRATED because he was beating up on D-LEAGUE schools in the Big10.
Note he was on the ONE team that's won a couple of championships in the last 20 years.
Maybe his regular season college stats are a bit....slanted.

There is zero doubt that he would have been the #1 pick for several reasons:
- QBs are always drafted high if they are any good. Seeing that Fields would have easily been the #1 QB, he would have been on every team's radar which needed a QB. Seeing that Detroit was sitting there at #2 and having a pretty crappy QB as the starter, they would have certainly taken him at #2.
- Because every other team knew that they would have to jump over Detroit to get the one "franchise QB", there would have been an auction to get to #1.
- It would be Jacksonville's choice to only drop to #2 and still get a king's ransom or to drop lower and get a bigger king's ransom for the #1 pick. It would all depend on what Jacksonville thought about the top of the first round (which was reported to not be that special already).
- Because the 2022 NFL draft did not have any truly special players at the top, Jacksonville would have loved to trade the #1 for a team to move up and draft the one player in the draft who would have been head and shoulders above the rest of the players, Fields.
- It would have saved cap space because Jacksonville would not have to overpay for a very good player, but not great, who would have cost them the price of the #1 pick.
- Jacksonville could have gotten a 2023 #1 draft pick plus a slightly lower 2022 first round pick where they could draft a player whose value would match his draft position.
- Even if Fields were not the top player in the 2022 draft, which I believe he would have been, he would have moved up to the #1 spot because top QBs are always drafted earlier than their draft value because top QBs are always viewed as more valuable than other positions.
