QUARTERBACKS--4/20/2008

1. Tom Brady, NE--Brady to Moss has a nice ring to it.
2. Tony Romo, DAL--Could be number 1 with another receiver.
3. Peyton Manning, IND--Lack of receivers hurt his value.
4. Carson Palmer, CIN--No running game helps. If C. Johnson is traded Palmer's value will plummet.
5. Matt Hasselbeck, SEA--Will become a passing team. The loss of D. Branch and D. Hackett will hurt.
6. Drew Brees, NO--Brees stumbled out of the gates last season. Colston needs a partner.
7. Ben Roethlisberger, PIT--A rising star.
8. Marc Bulger, STL--If he stays healthy he'll produce.
9. Derek Anderson, CLE--Was last season a fluke or is he the real deal?
10. Eli Manning, NYG--Don't be surprised if he finishes the season in the top 5.

**********

11. Matt Leinart, AZ--Position here is depended on his health.
12. Jay Cutler, DEN--Marshall should be good to go and Scheffler is a good bail out option.
13. Donovan McNabb, PHI--Hard to see him improve.
14. David Garrard, JAX--Jerry Porter should help his ascent.
15. Aaron Rodgers, GB--Inherits a good team.
16. JaMarcus Russell, OAK--He'll be better than most people give him credit for.
17. Jake Delhomme, CAR--Could be in the top 10 with Steve Smith and D.J. Hackett.
18. Kellen Clemens, NYJ--Cotchery and Coles will quicken his learning curve.
19. Phillip Rivers, SD--Still a running team.
20. John Kitna, DET--One last hurrah before the "quarterback of the future" takes over.

**********

21. Jason Campbell, WAS--About a year away from being in the top 10.
22. Vince Young, TEN--Another player hurt by his teams propensity to run.
23. Jeff Garcia, TB--Older than dirt but still has Galloway.
24. Trent Edwards, BUF--One good receiver from being inside the top 20.
25. Matt Schaub, HOU--This is a team destined to struggle.
26. Chris Redman, ATL--No where to go but up.
27. Alex Smith, SF--Isaac Bruce can only help this passing game.
28. Tarvaris Jackson, MIN--Bernard Berrian will add some stability but he's still raw.
29. Brodie Croyle, KC--The Chiefs desperately need another receiver.
30. John Beck, MIA--He could surprise this season.

**********

31. Kyle Orton/Rex Grossman, CHI--Whether it's Orton or Grossman, without receivers it won't really matter.
32. Kyle Boller/Troy Smith, BAL--The starter will likely be rookie Matt Ryan but either way they all will struggle.
