Much buzz to fulfill. The next Elway

 Much buzz to fulfill. The next Elway? The next Peyton? Even better? If he reaches that level in the NFL, how do you not pick him?
The Huddle posed this choice Wednesday to NFL Network chief draft analyst Mike Mayock, a man whose opinion we greatly respect.

"It would be really hard to put Andrew Luck up there (with the others)," said Mayock. "I'll probably go with the known commodities."

He ceded that Stafford and Bradford both need to prove they can avoid injuries and that Ryan "needs to take the next step."

"Cam Newton had a year that was mind-boggling," Mayock added. He wants to see Newton continue to work hard while wondering "how well will NFL defenses adapt to what Carolina did?"
