Analysis:
No real surprises in the top ten as Brady & Manning form
a tier all their own as do Romo & Brees. Close call between
McNabb and Hasselbeck as well as between Eli Manning and Marc
Bulger. QBs #12-17 appear to be fairly even in value, but
after Schaub, there is an apparent drop-off to Aaron Rodgers.
Beyond that, however, a huge drop in production is predicted
after Leinart at #22. The moral of that story may very well
be: Grab your backup QB amongst the first 22 taken because
once Leinart is off the board, the talent is pretty thin.
