There are some interesting quarterback prospects in this upcoming NFL draft. The group boasts players who have a lot of upside if they keep on improving.

Brian Brohm could’ve been the first pick in last year's draft and came into the season as the top returning QB.

The season put together by Matt Ryan has catapulted him up the charts this season, and should make him the first QB picked in the Draft.

 

Andre’ Woodson started strong and has slipped of late but should still be picked in the first round. Colt Brennan of Hawaii set a ton of NCAA records and Joe Flacco of Delaware has the size and big-time arm that NFL teams covet.

 

QB Rankings 

 

1.     Matt Ryan                  Boston College           6’5”-220

 

Ryan is an accurate passer with a strong enough arm to make all the throws necessary in the NFL. Has NFL scouts raving about his intangibles, leadership skills and his ability to remain calm under pressure. He played in a pro-style offense in college. Has a solid skill set with no weakness in any category. Does not have tremendous upside, but he will be a solid NFL QB.

 2.     Brian Brohm               Louisville                    6’4”-225

Brohm has all the tools to be a franchise QB in the NFL. Some say he is the product of a pass-happy offense, but Brohm is the real deal. Has good size and football knowledge. Has a great arm and is extremely accurate. There are concerns about his durability, but as long as he remains healthy he will be a fine NFL starting QB.

 

3.     Andre’ Woodson        Kentucky                    6’5”-235

Woodson is an ideal pocket passer with excellent size. Has a big-time arm and can make every throw possible. Woodson has put up impressive numbers the last two seasons. Refining his footwork and mechanics will improve his accuracy. He has an awkward throwing motion and worked mostly out of the shotgun in college, but has the most upside of any QB in this draft. Is slipping in the eyes of some scouts, but will be a 1st
