If you logged on to NFL.com yesterday and this morning you wouldn’t have seen featured story on Brett Favre or Peyton Manning. The featured article and picture on the homepage of NFL.com is of Tim Tebow. Why you ask? Because NFL analyst Bucky Brooks put together his first 2010 Mock Draft. Guess who is not in his first round… that’s right, Tim Tebow.
Bucky Brooks bounced around in the NFL back in the mid-90s, so apparently that give him enough clout to be considered an “analyst.” It’s hard to tell if he put together this mock draft just to get a rise out of people or if this is really how he thinks it will play out.

He has only one quarterback going in the entire first round, and that’s Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford to the Arizona Cardinals with the 26th pick.
People will argue till the cows come home on whether or not Tim Tebow has first round NFL talent, but I can put my Tebow Zone guarantee on the fact that he will be picked in the first round. Too many teams will be sitting there, wondering what if… what if we take Tim Tebow. There are a bunch of teams that need quarterbacks and even more teams that need good character football players.

I disagree w/his opinion, but at least BB actually did play in the NFL. Most guys who are labeled as ‘experts’ don’t appear to have spent much time playing the game. Todd McShay never made it beyond college level (ironically, in college he was moved from playing qb to another position). And Mel Kiper Jr’s glory days in football must have ended w/either the words ‘high school’ or ‘Pop Warner’, b/c he didn’t even play at the college level. But they’re all labeled ‘experts’. *rolls eyes*
