    top 3

    1. Matt Ryan, Boston College
    Height: 6-5 Weight: 228
    College stats: 32 starts, 8,963 yards, 54 TDs, 34 INT
    Vital numbers: 4.95 40-yard dash, 4.51 short shuttle

    Ryan is the premiere quarterback of the class of 2008. He is a first round prospect with all the intangibles and is described accurately as a "winner." When compared to other draft classes, Ryan doesn't have the status of a Peyton or Eli Manning, Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger to some clubs, but he is a guy you can build a club around. It will be hard for Atlanta, Kansas City and Baltimore to all pass him in the top 10 spots. Ryan takes chances to win games, and has the pocket presence to keep a play alive and create on his own. Ryan has a good chance to have a Matt Hasselbeck type of career. Draft projection: Round 1.

    2. Brian Brohm, Louisville
    Height: 6-3 Weight: 230
    College stats: 33 starts, 12,775 yards, 71 TDs, 24 INT
    Vital numbers: 4.61 40-yard dash, 4.55 short shuttle

    Brohm was considered a solid first-round pick if he came out in 2006. He returns to college and has a better completion percentage, 14 more touchdowns than his junior year and 1,000 more yards. His stock went down, which is hard to understand. Some question his toughness and his arm strength. He looks like a good fit for the West Coast attack that requires mobility, short accuracy and solid decision making. Some compare him to Drew Brees. There are times when watching film when he looks more like Chad Pennington to me. Draft projection: Rounds 1-2.

    3. Chad Henne, Michigan
    Height: 6-3 Weight: 230
    College stats: 47 starts, 9,715 yards, 87 TDs, 37 INT
    Vital numbers: 4.92 40-yard dash, 4.40 short shuttle

    Henne has a lot of experience and is considered a leader with toughness. His performance at the Senior Bowl helped raise his draft stock. His ability to make good decisions on the football field as well as throw a good deep ball is evident on tape. Has a chance to be a No. 2 quarterback in 2008, and his career could resemble Matt Schaub with a few years on the bench followed by a solid chance to start. Draft projection: Round 2.
