There's flaw with the debate about QB and first round picks: "What QB has been a first round talent as a true sophomore in college?" That is not absolutely fair question to ask:
We've had true freshmen who started at QB, who went on to NFL. We've had sophomore, junior and senior who went to NFL. CAM Newton played one season at Auburn before he went to NFL. There is lot of vary factors involved, but in the end, There has been players who was projected to be drafted in first round, whether they were freshmen, sophomore, junior or senior. Take a look at all the qbs drafted in NFL

It doesn't matter if a person is first round potential or not. If Jake Coker played one more season at Alabama... He would've been 1-3rd round pick... Same for Blake Sims. who knows? THe fact Hurts did all those things last year.. and if he has another special year... He's a 1st round potential.
