I'm an Alabama fan and I'd select Lamar Jackson.

Jackson started the season like a house afire, but definitely cooled down. I’d pick Watson. Second year in a row he has carried Clemson into the playoff.

I do not really get Peppers at all. While a very good player he just is not Heisman worthy.

As a defensive player, Peppers doesn’t have the stats the others do, but I think he will likely have the best pro career of all of them.

Nah. He’s a runt journeyman in the NFL. The Jets are gonna draft him.

The Jets strategically use the season to ensure a high draft pick every year.

Well, if they're going to be the good at something, might as well be the best average draft selection. One of these years the draft day trade may work in their favor... :-)

Dont forget the Browns. They passed on Ohio native Big Ben Roethlissburger way back. Since Johnny Manziel isnt in the draft this year, who knows what they will do.

Watson is a turn over machine. Jackson is the man

NCAA. Nothing from the West Coast. Nothing West of the Mississippi river. Barely west (Oklahoma). Two from Oklahoma?

At least nobody from Ohio State got picked. Didn’t even win their conference, but ranked 2. Perfect.

I’d pick Trace McSorley from Penn State - oh, wait; never mind, he’s white.

Yup. No mention of Fournette at LSU. Fournette's rushing yardage during two games with Alabama = less than 70 yards.

Did you notice that Florida gained ZERO rushing yardage during the SEC championship game Saturday?
