I don't think Young and especially Jacobs belong in the "top 3." When it is all said and done, I bet Leinart, Stanton, Croyle and Quinn (if he declares) will be the top 3/4. So I guess to answer your question any of those would be fine (depending on where we draft them) IMO.

Croyle he's a gamer. Leinart obvious, Whitehurst he's better than young and jacobs imo of course.

Sorry didn't see the of these three. If your going to put young in their throw in Brady Quinn their both juniors. Of those three Leinart is head and shoulders above the other two.

Leinart. VY is a poor mans Mike Vick and Jacobs is a project.

If we can get Quinn I'm all for it but I don't know if he will go pro. Of the sleepers I like Whitehurst and Croyle. The latest draft report said Leinart was the only qb in the top 100 but thats just seniors if they go by that we can get oline with 1 and qb in 2or3 rounds.MallSanta said:

Leinart is the most obvious of those three. He would probably need a half season of tutoring, and then could come in and start. After that I would say Omar Jacobs (remember, he has zero supporting cast), and then Vince Young. The problem with 1st round QBs is that you may them millions to learn the system from the bench for two years. I don't think we'd need to do that with Leinart.
I don't think we'll get Leinart unless we trade down (and given all our QB problems since Marino retired, we shouldn't we? he's as close to a sure thing as you'll find). Otherwise I'm looking at Brady Quinn right now. But alot of people don't think he'll declare.
Omar Jacobs should be a mid first rounder.. a guy that will probably be available for us to pick if we go 6-10 or 7-9.

dont act like your not impressed
leinart.......young is very a tempting pick......but if it was our pick and leinart was still available then no doubt thats the pick he could come and start next year.......although i would perfer to adress other positions like oline or cb in round 1 next year and get a qb in the later rounds like paul pinegar

leinart is clearly the best, young is just an athlete, and jacobs....no. and he's out for the year i think (according to buddwalk)
Croyle - Gamer, bigtime arm, good accuracy, good pocket awareness, sees the field doesnt force the plays that arent there. Stats wont blow anyone away which means you actually have to have done your research and seen the guy play. Hes on his 3rd OC in 5 years (2 of which were shortened by injury; ACL and fluke shoulder injury on a tackle after TO) Probably late 2nd, early 3rd
Brady Quinn - Pretty much the same as Croyle without some injury concerns but may not decare. I also hold the fact that he will probably be a 1st round pick against him. Whether that makes sense to you or not I dont care. My logic behind it is twofold; A) I dont believe we will go with a QB in rd 1 (which leads to point B) B) I dont think we go Qb in rd 1 because Qb's command a high signing bonus, tend to sit on the bench for at least a year. To me 1st round picks are expected to make an immediate impact, thats why they get paid more. If a player is going to be sitting for at least a year I dont want to see him sitting and judging by the way we QB shopped this winter I tend to believe that Nick will take on a similar philosophy. In adittion by taking a QB in rd 1 you also give in to the fact that that player will command a higher price tag for his position and for QB that can be quite cap consuming. In other words Id rather see us get a couple years of cheap labot from the qb position to make sure the guy is actually good and than if the qb is worth it than dish out the loot to keep him.
Drew Olsen - I expect him to rise up draft boards post combine. Hes having a great SR season for a program that spent much of the last few years rebuilding. Hes got a good arm/accuracy.
