It's a diverse quarterback group, from those that [Baltimore Ravens director of scouting] Eric DeCosta has given me to look at," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "What's intriguing is that there appears to be some options in about every round that may present themselves."
Beyond the top two, there is a tantalizing quartet that will likely be sprinkled between rounds 2-4 – Michigan State's Drew Stanton, Stanford's Trent Edwards, BYU's John Beck and Houston's Kevin Kolb. With as many as 10 teams looking to improve their quarterback depth or groom a future starter, that foursome has drawn plenty of attention as having "star" potential.
In a way, the second tier of quarterbacks can be divided into two categories: "system" quarterbacks who reaped success in wide-open attacks as seniors (Beck and Kolb), and "gifted" quarterbacks blessed with first-round tools but who suffered through punishing final seasons (Stanton and Edwards).
