1. Matthew Stafford,
Georgia
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 225 40 - 4.87
Has the laser rocket arm and size of the protypical quarterback you
want. Arm strength is unquestionable. Played in one of the
hardest defensive conferences and in a pro style offense.
Decision making is questionable as he has thrown 33 interceptions to 51
touchdowns. There are questions about leadership, but nonetheless
he should be a top 5 pick. I see a lot of Jay Cutler.
2. Mark Sanchez, USC
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 220, 40 - 4.85
Sanchez has certainly taken advantage of Sam
Bradford, Colt McCoy, and Sam Bradford staying in school. Sanchez
looks to be no worse than the 2nd quarterback drafted. His stats
in his one year at USC are impressive and his physical tools are
exactly what you want in a quarterback. The two main draft
writers at TFE differ in Sanchez though. Gregory Cox believe
Sanchez's experience against a NFL talent defense every day in practice
and working in a pro style offense in college have made him NFL
ready. Michael Abromowitz believes Sanchez should have stayed
another year of college because his experience as a starter was
limited: 1 full season. Abromowitz believed Pete Carroll
had Sanchez's best interest at hand and when Carroll didn't want
Sanchez to go pro that it was more because Carroll didn't think he was
ready than he was trying to be stubborn in keeping his top
player. Only 2 first round picks in the past had as little
starting experience as Sanchez: Akili Smith and Aaron
Rodgers. Could go anywhere from #1 to the middle-end part of
round 1.
3. Josh Freeman,
Kansas St.
Ht - 6-6, Wt - 240, 40 - 4.97
4. Pat White, West Virginia
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 200, 40 - 4.57
At the Senior Bowl and Combine has proved that he may be able to play
quarterback in the NFL. With a weak quarterback class will
definitely benefit.
5 Rhett Bomar,
Sam
Houston St.
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 215, 40 -
4.75
Has something in common with Matt Ryan and Brady Quinn: my top
senior quarterback. For those that don't remember, Bomar was the
top high school recruit in the country and his career at Oklahoma
looked promising before he was kicked off the team for receiving money
for not actually working at a car dealership. Remember, Bomar was
ahead of Sam Bradford on the depth chart. Bomar has great
athleticism and throws a great ball on the run. Size isn't great,
but makes up for his mobility. Never want to parallel someone to
Brett Favre, but reminds me a lot of him. Same size, same gutsy
type player who loves throwing on the run, and a great field
general. They actually have the same agent, Bus Cook, too.
The two also have had issues with alcohol, just like Favre.
Bomar's biggest weakness may be his accuracy. Never was over 60%
in completion percentage.
6. Stephen McGee,
Texas A&M
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 210, 40 - 4.61
7. Tom Brandstater,
Fresno St.
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 220, 40 - 4.80
8. Nate Davis,
Ball State
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 218, 40 - 4.75
Has a learning disability, which may cause his draft stock to fall
farther than many expect. Only the Colts showed up to his Pro
Day, which is not a good sign.
9. Jason Boltus, Hartwick
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 220, 40 -
4.75
10. John Parker
Wilson, Alabama
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 215, 40 -
4.80
11. Graham Harrell,
Texas Tech
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 240, 40 -
4.60
12. Hunter Cantwell,
Louisville
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 240, 40 -
4.90
13. Curtis Painter, Purdue
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 230, 40 - 4.90
14.
Nathan Brown,
Central Arkansas
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 215, 40 -
4.80
15. Cullen Harper,
Clemson
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 220, 40 - 4.85
16. Todd Boeckman,
Ohio State
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 245, 40 -
4.85
17. Chase Holbrook,
New Mexico St.
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 245, 40 -
5.10
18. Brian Hoyer,
Michigan St.
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 212, 40 -
4.85
19. Mike
Reilly, Central Washington
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 212, 40 -
4.85
20. Chase Daniel,
Missouri
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 225, 40 -
4.80
21. David Johnson,
Tulsa
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 220, 40 - 4.75
22. Rudy Carpenter,
Arizona St.
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 220, 40 -
4.90
23. Billy Malone,
Abilene Christian
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 235, 40 -
5.00
Outstanding prospect out of high school who had scholarship offers from
Texas, LSU, and Tennessee. Went to Tulane to play with his
brother, but at Tulane told he could no longer played football anymore
because of a heart ailment. Malone is now 26 years old.
Last season, he passed for 34 touchdowns and 2,944 yards last season
and only threw six interceptions. Could be the next great Kurt
Warner. After Tulane and before playing at Abilene Christian,
Malone was milking cows.
