Interestingly, of all the QBs in college football, only 11 were drafted. Nevada's Jeff Rowe was the 8th quarterback taken.

I wasn't surprised that Rowe was taken and Zabransky was not. Was it the East/West Shrine Game that the Nevada QB showed so well in?

Yes...Rowe was named MVP of that game

The WAC site is saying that this year's draft tied the WAC's best ever under this format.

In 1998, the 16-team WAC had 17 players taken as well.

Very good weekend.
