Braxton Miller ???

odd, I thought "all" the experts predicted he would be a first round NFL selection at QB. I guess we will have to wait for next year's draft

Who said that? I can find articles as far back as last year suggesting that he'd be better suited at a non-QB position at the pro level: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ller-could-benefit-from-position-change-in-15 and his draft profile compares him to Denard Robinson, who is now a RB.

Cardale Jones, on the other hand, will absolutely be a first round pick - as he should be. I see Jones as comparable to Roethlisberger in a number of ways. JT Barrett is more of a wild card.

Oops, meant the year before last. A lot of the speculation was after the "chock-hold" play on Mauti

At no time last year, before last year, or before that year, did any expert, predict Miller would be a starting NFL QB much less a first round selection. 90% of OSU fans said that he wouldn't be a first round draft choice as a QB. We did think that when he was healthy and before last season's injury that he could win a Heisman or lead the team to a National TItle, but never a first round pick as a QB.

Lets see how Jones looks this year in a full season before we call him a sure-fire 1st round pick. All we know is he has the arm strength. That off-tackle running will be irrelevant to the NFL. Heck, let's see ho much he actually plays this year if Barrett is healthy.
