You could be right, 30gut, next year's QB draft will be pretty loaded.
I don't know. Next years class looks to me like a bunch of physical specimens that can't complete 60% of their passes. And when you can't do that at the collegiate level then chances are you'll never do it at the pro level.

Last year had a great draft with two of the most accurate passers in college history with Bradford and McCoy. We'll see how everything shapes up but I'm not to excited about Mallet, Prior, and Locker. Luck won't be out next year as he wants to finish his Stanford education before going pro. Then again we'll probably never be in position to draft Luck.

Christian Ponder and Jacory Harris are both intriguing prospects, and Terrell Pryor might end up useful before it's all said and done, but yeah, Mallett and Locker haven't accomplished very much at the college level yet.

There's still time to turn it around -- or to reinforce the believe that they're not accurate passers.

Interestingly, BYU plays both Locker (UW) and Ponder (FSU) this year. I'm excited to see those games.

You're right about Locker, from what I've seen. Hasn't done a whole lot, despite his hype going in.

From what I've seen of both of them, Ponder appears to be the more polished QB, though both of them are very physical, and can run.

What about Ponder out of FSU? He's a solid QB, given the right players around him.

He REALLY impressed me against my Canes last year. He's going to be very good for a while I think.
