2003 Rookie Draft Class

Quarterbacks

Name

Carson Palmer
USC

13	63	63	56	60
13	69	69	63	10
13	75	75	69	5
13	56	56	50	20
6	50	50	44	5

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.

Tecmo comparison: Jim Everett

Name

Byron Leftwich
Marshall

13	75	44	56	70
13	81	50	63	5
13	69	38	50	15
13	63	31	44	10

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.

Tecmo comparison: B.J. Tolliver

Name

Kyle Boller
California

13	44	44	50	60
13	50	50	56	20
13	56	56	63	5
13	38	38	44	15

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.

Tecmo comparison: Wade Wilson

Name

Rex Grossman
Florida

13	38	44	31	70
13	44	50	38	15
13	31	38	25	15

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.

Tecmo comparison: Marc Wilson

Name

Dave Ragone
Louisville

19	25	25	31	70
19	31	31	38	15
25	38	38	44	5
13	19	19	25	10

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.

Tecmo comparison: Mike Pagel

Name

Chris Simms
Texas

13	44	38	38	70
13	50	44	44	10
13	38	31	31	20

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.

Tecmo comparison: Anthony Dilweg

Name

Seneca Wallace
Iowa State

19	31	44	25	70
25	38	50	31	20
13	25	38	19	10

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.

Tecmo comparison: Timm Rosenbach

Name

Brian St. Pierre
Boston College

13	38	31	44	70
13	44	38	50	15
13	31	25	38	15

Outlook: St. Pierre is a below average backup quarterback who will likely be on the outside looking in when rosters are posted for 2003.

Tecmo comparison: Jack Trudeau

Name

Drew Henson
Michigan

13	31	31	38	70
13	38	38	44	15
13	44	44	50	5
13	25	25	31	10

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.

Tecmo comparison: Mike Tomczak

Name

Brooks Bollinger
Wisconsin

13	25	44	38	70
13	31	50	44	20
13	19	38	31	10

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.

Tecmo comparison: Rich Gannon

Name

Ken Dorsey
Miami (Fla.)

13	38	38	38	70
13	44	44	44	10
13	31	31	31	20

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.

Tecmo comparison: Stan Humphries

Name

Tony Romo
Eastern Illinois

13	50	63	50	50
13	56	69	56	15
13	44	56	44	15
13	38	38	38	20

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.

Tecmo comparison: Phil Simms
