The NFL Draft is far closer to a marathon than the sprint that many mock drafts make it seem like. There are a number of picks, and some of those later picks may be more about finding developmental players than addressing needs.
That idea could help explain to some fans why the Cincinnati Bengals would meet with a quarterback prospect like Peyton Ramsey out of Northwestern before the draft.
Ramsey isn’t projected to go high in this year’s draft, if at all. He was a solid quarterback for three seasons at Indiana before transferring to Northwestern ahead of his senior season.
