When was the last time a Big 10 QB was taken
round one?
What has happened?
A shift has occurred.

How do they have more states to pull from than any other conference?
The last Big Ten QB I remember getting taken in the first round was Kerry Collins in 95. Why does it matter? In a lot of years, only 1 or 2 QBs are taken in the first round? How many has the Big 12 had in that time? I can't think of one other than Vince Young.
Yes, the Big Ten QBs aren't great this year. Don't you think it's somewhat cyclical? All those QB "stars" in the Big 12 have been starting for 2+ years and play in spread offenses geared towards passing. What is the point?
