2009.04.22 Pac-10 QB Drafted in First Round
It's safe to say Mark Sanchez should be a 1st-round pick on Saturday. If he does, he'll be the 4th USC QB to be drafted in the first round of the common draft era (since 1967). It would tie Cal for the most QB taken in the first round among the current Pac-10 teams.
