NFL draft's top quarterbacks

NFL draft's top quarterbacks
This is an above-average class with good upside if the young passers continue to develop.

Several top prospects, including seniors Matt Ryan, Brian Brohm amd Andre' Woodson, should be first-round selections - Ryan and Brohm will likely be taken in the top 10.

Passers like Colt Brennan and John David Booty look to impress during the postseason in order to climb into the overall top-50.

Delaware's Joe Flacco is an interesting small-college prospect. He made strides this fall, and could make this a special group - especially if he impresses in all-star action and at the NFL Combine.

2008 NFL Draft Quarterback Rankings

1. Matt Ryan, Boston College, 6-5, 225
This strong-armed senior looks to solidify his rating with a big week at the Senior Bowl.

2. Brian Brohm, Louisville, 6-4, 230
This slick-throwing senior has the skills and ability to become a fine NFL starter.

3. Andre' Woodson, Kentucky, 6-5, 220
This big, athletic senior carried the Wildcats for most of his brilliant career.

4. Colt Brennan, Hawaii, 6-2, 200
This record-setter needs a strong postseason to quell the talk of him being a "system QB."

5. John David Booty, Southern Cal, 6-3, 215
This savvy senior had a strong finish after a broken finger set him back at midseason.
 
6. Joe Flacco, Delaware, 6-6, 235
A strong-armed small college prospect, Flacco looks to impress at the East-West Shrine game to move further up the rankings.

7. Chad Henne, Michigan, 6-2, 233
The talented senior struggled through an injury-riddled final season. His health needs to be addressed in the postseason.

8. Sam Keller, Nebraska, 6-4, 235
This athletic senior was having a strong final season before a shoulder injury ended his career.

9. Erik Ainge, Tennessee, 6-6, 225
A tall, rangy senior, Ainge flashes big play ability at times. However, he has also been prone to turn in some inconsistent performances.

10. Josh Johnson, San Diego, 6-2, 200
Another talented small-college passer, Johnson hopes to increase his visibility and showcase his fine skills in the postseason.

11. Dennis Dixon, Oregon, 6-3, 205
12. Paul Smith, Tulsa, 6-2, 195
13. Alex Brink, Washington State, 6-2, 210
14. Anthony Morelli, Penn State, 6-3, 232
15. Kevin O'Connell, San Diego State, 6-6, 225
16. Ricky Santos, New Hampshire, 6-1, 195
17. Kyle Wright, Miami, 6-4, 220
18. Omar Haugabook, Troy, 6-1, 200
19. Matt Flynn, LSU, 6-2, 230
20. Bernard Morris, Marshall, 6-3, 200

I can't believe Sam Keller is ranked above Paul Smith. He made worse decisions with the ball than former OU QB Eric "Retreat!" Moore and was showed up later in the year by Joe Ganz.

At another forum I participate on (FootballsFuture.com), other posters are saying that this isn't a good quarterback class and that none of them will be selected in the top ten.  Great year for RBs, though.

Matt Ryan, Flacco, Henne, and Flynn are the only ones who have really done anything. Shitty QB class, actually.

Good scouting there, Chris_. :p

Well, there's been whispers of getting rid of Vick. I think Foles should start though. They need defense.

I was desperately hoping Vick was gone after the season but they decided to keep him  :rant:.  Foles should start so they can find out if he'll be able to fit in to Chip Kelly's new offense.

And, yes, defensive players are key especially since they're switching to a 3-4.

I like the way Chip talks football (and I agree with Wasp NJ  :naughty:  :-)), he said he wanted "big guys because big guys beat little guys". Too bad Andy Reid didn't think that way.   :thatsright:
