This is now the norm for the NFL pre-draft. There are probably 6 to 10 teams that WANT Luck. And amazingly, Indy may not be one of those teams. So in an effort to discount Luck's value those 6 to 10 teams are trying hard to convince these "TV Experts" that RG3 is a decent second choice. This implied value for RG3 would lower the cost for trading to get Luck. If Miami had the #1 pick this Luck or RG3 thing would never even come up because everyone would know Miami was picking Luck. Instead the conversation would be that RG3 may not be as good as QB #3. Same pre-draft game, different scenario.
So the TV Experts are getting played a bit here, and because they need something to talk about they are happy to play along.
Very few fast QBs are fast after 4 years in the league, the proper franchise draft bet is Luck. This is not to say that RG3 won't do well too, I suspect he will also have a strong NFL career.
