Outlook: Palmer has earned the nickname "Human JUGS Machine" due to his highly accurate passing. He is the quintessential pocket passer who won't do much scrambling outside the pocket. There is no doubt that Palmer has the ability to be a franchise player in the WTF.

Outlook: Leftwich is a tenacious player known for his lightning-quick passes and the ability to play through injury. He is a little lacking when it comes to accuracy and does not have experience playing against premier competition, so his transition to the WTF could be rougher than most.

Outlook: Kyle Boller performed well at Cal, but the Pac-10 is not always the best preparation for professional football, particularly the QB position. He will struggle and will probably end up a career backup.

Outlook: Grossman was a top performer in college at Florida but does not read defenses particularly well and is prone to interceptions. As a caretaker quarterback in a run-based offense, Rex could be a reasonable option.

Outlook: Ragone has a little bit of speed and put up some solid numbers at Louisville, but that 53% completion percentage his senior year makes it somewhat bewildering that he's considered a strong prospect.

Outlook: Chris Simms obviously has great lineage, as the son of former WTF quarterback Phil Simms. Simms will struggle to make his own name in this league but will probably hang around as someone's backup for a few seasons.

Outlook: Wallace brings speed and athleticism to the quarterback position, and is pretty accurate for such an undersized QB. This is the kind of player who could develop into a starter in time, but will struggle to get playing time early on.

Outlook: Henson is a superb two-way athlete who also excels in baseball, climbing his way up through the New York Yankees' farm system. It's debatable that Henson will even sign if drafted, so beware. Plus, he really isn't all that good to begin with.

Outlook: Bollinger was a winner in college for the Wisconsin Badgers, but there's a lot of questions about his arm strength. He's reasonably accurate but cannot complete the deep ball. He'll struggle for playing time but could be a decent backup.

Outlook: Dorsey won the Archie Griffin Award as college football's top offensive player two straight years, and was a Heisman finalist both years as well. His less-than-stellar completion percentage in college leads many to believe he's a marginal prospect going forward.

Outlook: Romo is a small-school project who looks like he could pay off for whoever drafts him in a major way. As always, keep in mind that these kinds of players tend to carry a lot of risk with them, so be careful drafting Romo to be the face of your franchise.
