    Rex Ryan Names Quarterback That Should Be The No. 1 Overall Pick

    Saturday nights heavyweight matchup between Alabama and Georgia will go down as another instant classic.

    Alabama would take a very commanding 30-7 lead at halftime, and with some excellent second half adjustments, the Bulldogs found their way back into the game, even so by taking a small lead late in the fourth quarter.

    A clutch throw and catch between Jalen Milroe and Ryan Williams on that following drive lead to a 75 yard touchdown, and a two point conversion extended Alabama's lead to 41-34, to which would be the final score.

    NFL Countdown on ESPN discussed this classic game to which the topic shifted to the next NFL Draft . Rex Ryan talked about how Georgia's Carson Beck has been the talk about potentially being the No. 1 overall pick, and then dropped this bombshell statement.

    "Why the hell isn't Milroe the first overall pick?" Ryan said.

    "I think in todays NFL, you want that guy that's got that dual-threat," Ryan continued. "That ability to run the football as well."

    The panel even said that in discussion with draft expert Mel Kiper last night following the game, Milroe may have very well solidified a chance to be the No. 1 overall pick in next years draft, to which Ryan agreed.

    Milroe absolutely showcased his game last night by leading the team in passing and rushing yards, as well as accounting for four touchdowns against a very savvy Georgia defense, led by Kirby Smart.
