2012 QB Class

So wait, if Griffin is going to return to school in 2012, he does need to get granted that medical redshirt, right? He has played in four seasons. I'm aware of his injury that cost him most of his 2009 season, but you can't just pass the draft and plan on playing in 2012. He actually needs the NCAA's approval to stay at Baylor longer.

I realize that medical redshirts are often handed out like candy, but it seems like merely having the application process could be a major deterrent to him returning next season. The guy is a 21 year old senior which is really rare for a quarterback. Andrew Luck will be 23 by Week 2 of next season. And that's not old at all for a rookie QB.

Luck, Griffin, and Barkley could go 1, 2, 3 in this draft. And not one of them would be overdrafted.

Just to be safe, I hope the Redskins get the no. 2 pick. If one of them stays in school, that no. 3 pick could be worthless (relatively speaking).
