1. Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame6'3", 223 lbs
Clausen displayed great decision-making skills during his Junior campaign (28 TD's, 4 INT's, 68.8% completion) in spite of not having the benefit of world-class protection behind ND's offensive line. His ability to play well under center elevates him to the top of this weak QB class.

Even if you overlook his incredible production at Central Michigan (2009: 28 TD's, 7 INT's, 69.7% completion, 713 rushing yards, 15 rushing TD's), LeFevour has all of the tools to be a productive NFL quarterback. He showed great accuracy and pocket presence during Senior Bowl week, helping to ease concerns that he'll flounder against stiffer competition than what he faced while at CMU.
3. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma6'4", 223 lbs
Bradford has too many question marks to put at the top of this list. His multiple shoulder injuries have to be of great concern to NFL clubs and he played almost exclusively out of the shotgun while at Oklahoma. He has great size and accuracy, but major questions about durability and playing out of a pro-style offense hurt his stock.

The fact that Brown is the fourth-rated QB in this class speaks more to the lack of legitimate QB talent in this draft than to Brown as a prospect. While he has NFL tools for someone to develop, Brown (like fellow listee Tim Tebow) needs to make gigantic leaps and bounds in several areas to be a bona-fide NFL quarterback. Brown needs to show better mechanics, consistency, and accuracy.

Everyone is quick to kill Tebow's chances in the NFL. They point out his slow release, inability to play under center, lack of ideal accuracy, and how low the low point of his release has been his entire career. All are legitimate concerns and we've seen no reason to think that Tebow will be able to overcome these serious questions going forward. However, if anyone is capable of proving everyone wrong, it's Tebow. That's enough to get him on this list.
