NFL Draft- Rule #1

So, I think I would make a pretty good GM. I watch enough college football where I could draft pretty well. And I have noticed a wonderful trend that could save your team a wasted pick. Here is my #1 rule for the NFL Draft: DO NOT DRAFT WIDE RECEIVERS FROM THE BIG XII! Think about it- Who is the top Big XII receiver currently in the NFL? Well, let's see. Who are the top WRs? By 2010 Stats, they are as followed:

1. Brandon Lloyd- Illinois, Big Ten
2. Roddy White- UAB, C-USA
3. Reggie Wayne- Miami, ACC
4. Greg Jennings- Western Michigan, MAC
5. Mike Wallace- Ole Miss, SEC
6. Andre Johnson- Miami, ACC
7. Dwayne Bowe- LSU, SEC
8. Larry Fitzgerald- Pitt, Big East
9. Calvin Johnson- Georgia Tech, ACC
10. Santana Moss- Miami, ACC (though they were Big East when he played)
11. Steve Johnson- Kentucky, SEC
12. DeSean Jackson- Cal, Pac-10
13. Hakeem Nicks- UNC, ACC
14. Miles Austin- Monmouth...
15. Marques Colston- Hofstra...
16. Brandon Marshall- UCF, C-USA
17. Terrell Owens- Tennessee-Chattanooga...
18. Jeremy Maclin- Missouri, Big XII
19. Mike Williams (TB)- Syracuse, Big East
20. Johnny Knox- Abelein Christian
21. Mario Manningham- Michigan, Big Ten
22. Braylon Edwards- Michigan, Big Ten
23. Jabar Gaffney- Florida, SEC
24. Anthony Armstrong- West Texas A&M...
25. Percy Harvin- Florida, SEC

One. Just one. Jeremy Maclin, the #2 receiver on his team behind DeSean Jackson. If you are looking for a big time wideout, someone who can be a big threat for you, avoid the Big XII at all costs. Could there be exceptions? Maybe. Michael Crabtree, Dez Bryant, Roy Williams, Wes Welker. But they didn't have great seasons last year. Luckily, for those wanting a top WR this year, both AJ Green and Julio Jones are SEC products. Might have a better chance. No Malcolm Kelly's or Michael Westbrook's, just solid WRs that will move your team forward.
