From PFT:

SECOND TIER OF QUARTERBACKS COULD LEAD TO INTRIGUE​
A league source tells us that one of the most fascinating aspects of this weekend's draft will be the manner in which the second tier of quarterbacks come off of the board.​
It's widely believed that the first cut of signal-callers -- JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn -- will be gone within the first 10 picks. They both could be gone within the first three. ​
After that, it's a crapshoot.

​
The next group of quarterbacks consists of four guys: Trent Edwards of Stanford, Drew Stanton of Michigan State, John Beck of BYU, and Kevin Kolb of Houston. But how do they rank among themselves?

The source thinks that all could go in the second round, and that there could be some clamoring at the top of round two, if the Lions, Raiders, and/or Browns pass on pass-throwers at the top of round one.


​
"Beck's the mystery man," the source said. "Some teams love him, meaning first round love, and others have him fourth in the group."

​
As a practical matter, it's much easier for a quarterback to develop without that "first-rounder" tag hanging around his neck. But with only two blue-chippers available at the top of round one, one of the three above-mentioned teams won't come out of round one with a quarterback, which might require a team in round two that is eyeing a specific guy in the quartet of second-tier players to get into the bottom of round one in order to get their man.

And yet someone was arguing with me yesterday that 6 QB's wouldn't go on day 1.

I definately agree. He was the top QB prospect coming out of college and definately played at the worst school of any of the major prospects. Seemed like a very poised guy for having such a bad team around him. Some scouts complain of his mobility but I think they really are not do a good analysis of him. No less mobile than Russel. Plus Edwards is two years younger. Not a fan of drafting 26 year olds in the second round. Before someone corects me Beck will be 26 in OCt, Edwards 24 in aug.
 
Yeah....IMO....Beck, Stanton, Edwards, and Kolb all look like the same guy to me.

Beck being 2 years older doesn't really bother me, just get the better QB.

I'm not sure who the better QB is since they played with vastly differant teams. I still like Edwards better.

yes but you have to concider that edwards has ha THREE throwing arm shoulder injuries. THREE. i would rather take a QB with no shoulder injuries and him be a little over a 1 year to 2 years older, espeacially since beck is better IMO. also beck is very mobile

Lately I've been souring a bit on Stanton from watching tape of him. Kolb, Beck, and Stanton all seem to have great pocket presence, but I noticed Stanton seems to lock onto receivers more (Beck and Kolb seem to look off coverages) and Stanton's passes also seem to float in the air a bit more. Beck seems to have the best eye for the field of the three and Kolb seems to have the best cannon to laser in passes.
Don't get me wrong, I still would be happy if we got Stanton, but watching some tape of him I can see how his stock might be dropping a bit as others' rise.
