The more interesting question is Jamie Newman and NFL QB. I think he'll end up having a 10-year career mostly as a backup, but a good backup, who makes 15+ starts in the NFL in meaningful games.
Drafting a QB is such a crapshoot. The number of 1st round NFL QBs drafted who have been busts can't be counted on two hands. There is obviously Tom Brady, but I love the fact that that Russell Wilson was so obviously an NFL QB and still, not only was he a 2nd rd pick, but Seattle signed some stiff named Foley who played one great game for the Packers AFTER they drafted Wilson, to be their starter and were able to essentially cut him before preseason was over. That is how much of a crapshoot the NFL draft is.
