Analysis: No real surprises in the top ten as Brady & Manning form a tier all their own as do Romo & Brees right after them. Close call between McNabb and Hasselbeck as well as between Eli Manning and Marc Bulger. QBs #12-17 appear to be fairly even in value, but after Schaub, there is an apparent drop-off to Aaron Rodgers. Beyond that, however, a huge drop in production is predicted after Leinart at #22. The moral of that story may very well be: Grab your backup QB amongst the first 22 taken because once Leinart is off the board, the talent is pretty thin.
