We had Benjamin Allbright on the show to chat with guest host Jeff Lloyd about quarterbacks and the NFL Draft. The two dove into Ben's quarterback evaluation process, what specific, non-traditional traits he looks for to predict future success, and how the incoming class of quarterbacks will project in the NFL.  Is Jameis Winston worthy of the #1 overall pick? Will Marcus Mariota be able to translate to the NFL? Who's the late round sleeper that could blossom into a star? We get Ben's takes on that and a whole lot more on this edition of Football Convos.
