The 2013 NFL Draft is not viewed as a good one, in hindsight. The #1 pick was LT Eric Fisher to the KC Chiefs, which turned out to be a good pick. Picks 2-5 were – LT Luke Joeckel to Jaguars, LB Dion Jordan to Dolphins, LT Lane Johnson to Eagles, DE Ezekiel Ansah to Lions.

The two best friend round picks were WR Deandre Hopkins to the Texans at 27 and C Travis Frederick to the Cowboys at 31. Other notable players include Zach Ertz, Darius Slay, LeVeon Bell in round 2, Travis Kelce, Tyrann Mathieu, Keenan Allen in round 3.

You know who, collectively, were all really bad picks? The quarterbacks. 2013 has to be the worst draft ever for QBs.

11 QBs were drafted and combined to start 83 games, compiling a 29-54 overall record. The QBs combined to throw 104 touchdowns and 101 interceptions. Yikes.
