I spoke with my friend who works for a NFL football
team and we talked about the upcoming NFL draft and some of the
Quarterbacks who might get drafted.
Here is our list of 2008 NFL draft list for quarterbacks.
1. Brian Brohm, 6' 4" 223, Louisville
Brohm
is already a very seasoned college quarterback, he stands fourth in
school history with 6,751 passing yards and 41 career touchdown throws.
He currently holds the school record for completion percentage at 66.2
percent. He also ranks third in school history in total offense with
6,841 yards. Brohm also has eleven 300-yard passing games in his career.
2. Matt Ryan, 6' 4" 221, Boston College
The
Heisman Trophy is a possibility, but playing for an under the radar
Boston College team will hurt his chances for that award. But that's
OK, it seems that winning the Heisman trophy and the NFL are not a good
combination.
Coming out of high school at Philadelphia (PA)
William Penn Charter, Ryan measured in at 6' 5" 200 pounds and ran a
4.93 forty. He is also known as a smart kid, graduating with a 3.25 GPA.
Coming
into his senior season (2007) Ryan looks recovered from that broken
foot, and he could emerge a potential first round draft pick in the
2008 NFL Draft. He has excellent size at 6' 4" 224 pounds, and a
powerful, accurate arm. Ryan is a tough, gutsy kid that knows how to
win games. He stands tall in the pocket, has excellent mechanics and
delivery, and has good vision over the entire field.
3. Andre' Woodson, 6' 5" 232, Kentucky
There
is a lot to like about Woodson, he is tall and big at 6' 5" 230 pounds
and he stands tall in the pocket with an overhead delivery, he will
rarely have a ball batted down at the line of scrimmage. He sees the
field very well and doesn't stare down just the primary receiver, he is
very well coached and is adept at reading defenses; he is just a heady
player that makes good decisions with the ball. He has a very strong
arm and has very good accuracy with good touch. Woodson is a young man
of very high character, is coachable and stays calm under pressure. He
has the mental make up that will make an elite NFL quarterback.
4. Colt Brennan, 6' 2" 198, Hawaii
One
of the most prolific passers in NCAA History after only his junior
season. Colt Brennan looks to become a legitimate NFL Draft Prospect.
If he can continue to improve, and prove to all the doubting NFL Scouts
that he is more than just a product of June Jones' pass happy system,
he has a chance to be a top pick in the upcoming 2008 NFL draft?
5. Eric Ainge, 6' 5" 220, Tennessee
6. Curtis Painter, 6' 4" 224 lbs, Purdue*
7. John David Booty, 6' 2" 208, USC
8. Chad Henne, 6' 2" 223, Michigan
9. Dennis Dixon, 6' 4" 224, Oregon
10. Anthony Morelli, 6' 3" 220, Penn State
11. Sam Keller, 6' 3" 235, Nebraska
12. Paul Smith, 6' 2" 195, Tulsa
13. Matt Flynn, 6' 2" 229, LSU
14. Joe Flacco, 6' 6" 230, Delaware
15. Kyle Wright, 6' 3" 223, Miami (Fl)
16. Omar Haugabook, 6' 2" 220, Troy
17. Josh Johnson, 6' 3" 195, San Diego
18. Ricky Santos, 6' 1" 215, New Hampshire
19. Todd Boeckman, 6' 4" 235, Ohio State
20. Brandon Cox, 6' 2" 211, Auburn
21. Alex Brink, 6' 3" 216, Washington State
22. Kevin O'Connell, 6' 6" 225, San Diego State
