we have been searching for a qb since dan and they give us......

i know its for fun but wtf!!!1. Indianapolis Colts – Aaron Rodgers, QB: It seems that, in the wake of a 1-15 season and Peyton Manning's departure, the Colts are having some trouble selling tickets. The presence of the reigning MVP at Lucas Oil Stadium might help remedy that situation. Rodgers, 28, is at the top of his game and seemingly ascending. Last December, on Showtime's Inside the NFL, a Rodgers admirer declared that "it's impossible to play the quarterback position any better than he is playing right now." I don't know about you, but I tend to defer to Tom Brady's analysis on such matters.[Report: Colts tell Andrew Luck they'll take him No. 1]
2. St. Louis Rams – Cam Newton, QB: Jeff Fisher's most fulfilling years as a head coach came in tandem with the late, great Steve McNair – a big-bodied, athletic quarterback who developed into a savvy field general. Newton, coming off a record-setting rookie season, looks like McNair 2.0, and the kid is just getting started.

Consider that Newton accomplished all he did in 2011 after just a single year in a non-NFL-style collegiate offense, and without the benefit of an offseason. Am I saying that Newton, 22, is the second best football player on earth? Of course not. But his combination of talent, athleticism and potential is staggering, and I believe Fisher snaps him up in this scenario. The coach doesn't get much of an argument from his newly hired general manager, either: Les Snead, after all, is a former Auburn tight end.
3. Minnesota Vikings – Tom Brady, QB: Yes, Brady will be 35 by the start of next season. The Vikings' brass isn't dissuaded. As owner Zygi Wilf pines for a new stadium, this franchise needs a shot of life – and Brady, still playing at the highest level, would be a transformative presence. And if the stadium talks implode and the Vikes bolt for L.A.? Well, Brady and Tinseltown are totally simpatico.
4. Cleveland Browns – Drew Brees, QB: Just what Saints fans need: More bad news. Fortunately, this is of the hypothetical variety, but given Brees' contentious contract situation, the thought of the franchise's locker-room leader not being in the fold hits a little close to home. In this case, after drafting the exceptionally productive passer, Browns owner Randy Lerner is happy to fork over a massive contract; considering that he paid team president Mike Holmgren a reported $50 million to come to Cleveland in December 2009, a nine-figure deal for Brees seems like a relative bargain.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jason Pierre-Paul, DE: Who's down with JPP? Well, you know T.B. … After a stellar second season that merited NFL defensive player of the year consideration – and helped the Giants win a championship – Pierre-Paul stands as the NFL's most dynamic young defensive lineman. While at Rutgers, new Bucs coach Greg Schiano had a ton of exposure to the 6-foot-5 playmaker and doesn't hesitate to break the run on quarterbacks by snagging a bona-fide QB-disrupter.
6. Washington Redskins – Robert Griffin III, QB: Yeah, I know, there are a lot of accomplished, NFL-tested passers still on the board, but Mike Shanahan can't help himself. The coach has a major-league man crush on RG3, and with good reason. Some might say the two of them need to get a room. (A team meeting room, where they can watch some film. Get your minds out of the gutter …)
7. Jacksonville Jaguars – Ndamukong Suh, DT: Statistically, Suh fell off a bit in 2011 after his tremendous rookie season. He also suffered from what seemed to be a string of immature decisions, from stomping on Green Bay guard Evan Dietrich-Smith during his team's Thanksgiving Day defeat to the Pack to giving a dubious account of his early December car accident in Portland. But you know what? Thirty-two NFL franchises would gladly employ him for the next decade-plus. In this case, the Jags are snatching Suh off the board one spot ahead of where he went in last year's UMD.
8. Miami Dolphins – Darrelle Revis, CB: Something about the thought of Revis Island rubbing up against Star Island seems incredibly appropriate, and having faced off against the league's preeminent cornerback twice annually for the last five seasons, the Dolphins are all too familiar with his excellence. This selection is so solid, general manager Jeff Ireland and owner Steve Ross actually get praised by the team's fan base.
9. Carolina Panthers – Ben Roethlisberger, QB: Having had so much success with Newton in 2011, coach Ron Rivera and general manager Marty Hurney don't hesitate to go after the older, more polished version. Some suspect Roethlisberger, who has shaken off more would-be sacks in his first eight seasons than most quarterbacks do in a career, is starting to wear down physically, which is the only reason he's still on the board. Given that he has been to three Super Bowls, winning two, and is probably the most underrated player of his era, the Panthers are willing to gamble that he'll hold up just fine.
10. Buffalo Bills – Andrew Luck, QB Two seasons ago, before "Suck For Luck" was part of the NFL lexicon, Bills fans were hoping their team would finish with the worst overall record to position themselves for a shot at the Stanford quarterback. The Bills botched that by ending up with the third-worst record, and Luck stayed in school another year anyhow. Since then, Ryan Fitzpatrick helped the Bills to a fast start in 2011 and landed a reported six-year, $59-million contract extension for his efforts. Then the Bills started sucking again, and the term buyer's remorse was tossed around liberally in western New York. If only Buffalo could have a little Luck. In UMDville, the Bills can!
