Top NFL Draft Prospects for 2009

Quarterbacks

1. Hunter Cantwell, Louisville
   Height: 6'5 - Weight: 230
   Cantwell has the size and arm strength of a pro QB. He just has to prove he can play every week.
2. Tim Tebow, Florida
   Height: 6'3 - Weight: 235
   Tebow looked good throwing the ball last season, but needs to prove he can sit in the pocket most downs and throw the ball accurately.
3. Matthew Stafford, Georgia
   Height: 6'3 - Weight: 237
   Matthew Stafford has all the physical attributes you look for in an NFL quarterback. Like Cantwell and Tebow he just needs to show he can get the job done consistently.
4. Chase Daniel, Missouri
   Height: 6'0 - Weight: 223
   Chase Daniel is a little on the short side for an NFL quarterback, but so was Drew Brees.
5. Todd Boeckman, Ohio State
   Height: 6'5 - Weight: 243
   Boeckman is a huge QB with a cannon for an arm. He just needs to show he can avoid the rush in the pocket and get rid of the ball.
6. Cullen Harper, Clemson
   Height: 6'4 - Weight: 215
   Cullen Harper looked fantastic last season. Another year like that will get him into 2009's second round.
7. Nate Long shore, California
   Height: 6'5 - Weight: 233
   Like most of the other QB's in this class, Longshore has shown flashes of brilliance. He just needs to do it week in and week out.
8. Graham Harrell, Texas Tech
   Height: 6'2 - Weight: 196
   Harrell is next years Colt Brennan. Scout will want to know if he's a system QB, or if he can get it done at the NFL level.
9. Curtis Painter, Purdue
   Height: 6'4 - Weight: 223
   When he's on, Painter is as good as any QB in this group. The problem is he's too streaky, not just from game to game, but from quarter to quarter.
10. Colt McCoy, Texas
    Height: 6'3 - Weight: 205
    McCoy needs to rebound from an interception plagued season in 2007. If he can return to his 2006 form he one of the best in the country.
11. Pat White, West Virginia
    Height: 6'2 - Weight: 185
    Pat White will likely move to wide receiver in the NFL. Unless, he shows he can sit in the pocket and make all the throws in a pro QB's arsenal.
