But as has been witnessed time and again is how teams tend to draft the glamorous QB's with the outstanding physical tools early (think JaMarcus Russell, Matthew Stafford, Josh Freeman). Potential is a huge thing to many teams. As for a player like Colt McCoy, scouts say he has great accuracy on short throws, but lacks great accuracy and has little zip on passes over 15 yards. His arm strength is questionable, and Texas' offensive scheme will undoubtedly hurt his ability to come in and contribute soon. He certainly possesses good athleticism, toughness, and leadership skills. He is supposed to fit into the end of round 1 or the early part of round 2. Ghostwriter,

Bradford, Suh, and Berry all look like have what it takes to be elite players at the next level, but I'm not sold on Locker and Mays. I really couldn't understand Locker, who has never completed better than 57 percent of his passes in a season and has a career mark of 33 touchdowns to 26 interceptions, being drafted ahead of Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy. I think Clausen finally started to live up to all the hype this season, completing 68 percent of his passes with a 28:4 touchdown/interception ratio. McCoy, meanwhile, is the most accomplished of the bunch with a career mark of 112 touchdowns to 42 interceptions. He's also never had a lower completion percentage in a season than 65 percent. As for Taylor Mays, I keep hearing that he's been a big disappointment this year—especially in coverage. Of course, it would be just like the Raiders to reach for him here. I wonder what his timed 40 will be... Hey David, it’s good to see you back on here.

However, the front office change that is expected to come after the season will most likely bring a desire for a new QB. New GM's and a relatively new coach in Mangini usually indicated that the franchise will go for that QB first. The other option could be Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska. He has potential for being a great 3-4 DE. But QB is the more glamorous position. Steve, I think that would be the Browns hope- to stick with one of their existing QB’s.

I hope they can get Quinn ready for next season or get Anderson ready and ditch Quinn. One or the other. Paying another quarterback big money seems like a waist for Cleveland.
