Let’s spend the appropriate time talking about the draft, which is to say, one single show.

From a college football perspective, the NFL Draft is very strange - some players who were clearly great at a top level are fully appreciated and rewarded by being drafted high and some just... aren't. To make sense of this phenomenon, we spoke with Fox Sports's Peter Schrager about the following topics:
• Why exactly are we (and the Rams and the Eagles) talking ourselves into Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, two talented, but seemingly only good quarterbacks?
• Who are the actual best players in the draft, regardless of team need? Laremy Tunsil? Jalen Ramsey? DeForest Buckner? Someone else?
• What are we supposed to make of occasionally impressive Penn State QB Christian Hackenberg? Also, what great crimes through history is James Franklin responsible for? Is there no end to this monster's evil?
• Which players were insanely productive and impressive, on either side of the field, and in some cases more so than certain players being mocked in the first round, but are being dinged for what appears to be inconsequential reasons?
• What % of NFL GMs are competent and how has this number fluctuated?
