Now that all college players have declared their eligibility for the NFL Draft, it is time to review the skills players who can help your fantasy team this season and beyond. This installment will be focusing on Quarterbacks.
QB:
Matt Ryan: "Matty Ice," as the Boston faithful call him, put together a solid season for BC this year. Although BC fell in the rankings towards the end of the year, Ryan carried BC on his back for much of the season and made them winners. That leadership ability, coupled with his above average arm, height, and overall skills make him the protypical QB coming out of this year's draft. He kinda reminds me of a right-handed Matt Leinart, who had less talent around him.
Brian Brohm: Brohm is another classic example of a player who should forego his senior season and come out when his stock is the highest. Like Leinart and Brady Quinn before him, Brohm could have been picked in the top 5 in the draft a year earlier and now, after a solid but unspectacular season, finds himself fighting to be even the #1 QB drafted. When Bobby Petrino left, Brohm should have gone with him. Brohm has nice numbers all around, but may not be successful unless he finds the right system.
Andre Woodson: Another 'leadership' guy who put Kentucky football on the map. Huge arm and charismatic abilities remind NFL scouts of a less-mobile Vince Young or even a Donovan McNabb. His release is a bit slow and he had a tough time trying to adapt to 'Mad' Mike Martz' system in workouts, but he has great potential. A team who needs a QB, like the Ravens, Jets, and Chiefs, would be foolish to pass on him if they have the chance.
Colt Brennan: The QB for 12-1 Hawaii seeks to prove the naysayers wrong and bring respectability to Hawaii's Run and Gun offense. Few Hawaii players have been able to produce in the NFL, and Brennan appears to be the same unless he can find a team with the right system for him.
Chad Henne: Tough QB from Michigan proved he can win big games and proved that he can be resilient after Michigan was shocked by Appalachian State last year. He lacks some of the glitter from the top 3 QB's, but should become a solid backup somewhere. He may even be a potential Matt Schaub, a tough guy who learns on the sidelines for a few years and earns fans as he shows potential.
Joe Flacco: The QB from Delaware is earning praise in workouts, but does that translate into the NFL? He lacked the competition from bigger games and seems unproven. He could be the next Jay Cutler. Then again, he kinda sounds like the former #1 overall from Fresno State, a guy named David Carr.
Josh Johnson: This I-AA QB from San Diego is my ultimate sleeper. They guy completed dominated I-AA and before you say, Tavaris Jackson, Johnson is recommended highly by former NFL QB Jim Harbaugh, who recruited him before leaving for Stanford and upsetting Ohio State this year. This is all you have to remember: 43 to 1. That is Johnson's TD to INT ratio in 2007. Scary!!

just wanted to know if i could use this on my site nflrumorz.com, email me at bam@nflrumorz.com if it's okay
Josh Johnson is the QB for San Diego Toreros, not the San Diego State Aztecs. Get yo shit straight if you are going to rip off rotoworld.com with this
Any team who takes Matt Ryan early in the first round will be making a serious mistake. His accuracy is questionable and his hype came from the Big ESPN machine because he is up in the Northeast near Bristol.
Henne, Flacco, or Ainge would be a better value later in the 2-4 rounds.
