For me it's Brady Quinn. I just haven't been that impressed with him this year.

Also, Derrick Alexander was a very good WR. Antonio Langham a very good DB.
Mel Kiper already has Quinn down to a projected ninth pick in the draft. He was projected #1 for quite a while. Will he be a Montana, Theisman, Lamonica, Lujack, or a Huarte or Mirer?Of all the big time players in the draft this year, who do you think is most likely to turn out to be a dissapointment of even a bust?

I don't think Dwayne Jarrett will be a bust. Whoever cited his 40-time as evidence is ridiculous. The kid has done nothing but dominate in a system that is as close to professional as you can find in college. His game doesn't involve dominating speed; how fast do you expect a 6-6 guy to be?
Brady Quinn will not be a bust. At worst he will be Matt Hasselbeck. The reason is that Charlie has Quinn executing all the line calls that a pro Qb would do, audibling, reading defenses. Quinn will not be shocked by the pro game's complexities at all. Also worth keeping in mind is the fact he had Ryan Harris as his LT, who did a solid imitation of a matador all year long. Some criticisms of Quinn are valid: he get's happy feet and is too quick to leave the pocket, and his accuracy leaves him at times, and he lacks poise in the big game. However, as we just observed in the SB with Manning, being a college QB choke-artist can be overcome in the NFL with lucky refereeing, decent coaching and a solid defense. I think Quinn is a safer pick than Russell, because Russell is more immature, with some potential weight issues, has always played on athletically superior teams, and his understanding of what is required of him in the pro game is a question mark. I happen to like Russell's game, and think he can flourish with the proper coaching. But he is truly a boom or bust proispect. Quinn is the safer pick. I could see him providing stability to a team that goes 9-7 to 11-5 for a decade. He actually reminds me a bit of Manning, with all the positives and negatives that go with it. A SB quality QB? Probably not, but to say he is sure to be a bust is over-reaching.
