Unlike last season where the top two picks were guaranteed to be quarterbacks, this draft is a little more unpredictable.

Here are the players with the best chance: (via Bleacher Report)

• Geno Smith, West Virginia: Smith has the size and arm strength teams look for in a pocket passer, and he has enough athleticism to move around in the pocket when under pressure. He doesn't have as strong an arm as RG3 or Russell Wilson, and he isn't nearly as fast as either of them. Even more troubling is the fact that he's really raw at diagnosing defenses, and he'll be limited as a rookie.
• Tyler Wilson, Arkansas: Wilson is slightly more athletic than Smith and has a better deep ball, but he's wildly inconsistent and can be wildly inaccurate at times. Wilson has a gunslinger's mentality, and he often makes incredible throws into tight windows, but he also makes crucial mistakes at inopportune times. 
• Ryan Nassib, Syracuse: Nassib really struggled at the Senior Bowl, showing above-average arm strength and erratic mechanics. He is a player who may succeed in the NFL, but thus far in the scouting process, he has yet to show any one attribute that jumps out as a huge positive.
• Michael Glennon, NC State: Glennon may end up becoming an excellent pro as a pure pocket passer, but from what we've seen this past week at the Senior Bowl, he has a long, long way to go before he's ready to lead an NFL team. Glennon can make some incredible throws, and he has enough arm strength to make all the throws, but he's a statue in the pocket and displays poor mechanics.

Surprisingly Matt Barkley wasn't listed in the article from Bleacher Report. Is there a reason why? I thought he had a chance to be drafted early, no?

With that said does anyone want to take a stab at how many QBs will be drafted in the first round and to what teams?

Kansas City, Buffalo, and the Jets are three teams who could be in the running. Ultimately I see KC and Buffalo making the move....with KC taking Geno and Buffalo drafting Glennon or Nassib...Remember Doug Marrone, the new Bills HC, coached Nassib, for the past four years at Syracuse. Should be interesting. Hopefully two get picked in the top ten, helping out the Chargers!!!

2 seems about right. No QB in this draft jumps out to me as "Superstar in the making".

Geno Smith
Matt Barkley
Mike Glennon
Tyler Wilson

All in the top 10. Are they all worthy? I would say none are. But that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Good write up Honk and boy what a different year makes for drafting QBs.  I am glad that KC sucked more this year than last or we could have had Luck or RG111 in our division.  I voted for two but could also see 3 going in the first round.  I really hope that 2 go off the board before our 11th pick to increase the chance of getting the player we want.  I watched the Senior bowl and thought the QBs pretty much sucked!

I really don't think any QB this year should go in the first round, but I am guessing at least 2 end up being taken in the first. I really hope the Chiefs take Geno as I think he will be a bust but their new GM has stated multiple times that he believes in BPA and won't reach just to fill a position of need.

Syx,
I am thinking along your line except I think one of those 4 slips to the second so I am going with 3. There are just way too many teams in this league that need QBs outside of the retreads that will be FAs.

I agree with the 1st part, but don't think KC drafts a QB in the 1st. IMO Alex Smith stays in the NFC West with AZ, and KC adds Matt Flynn. So KC will be looking at a project/backup. Hmmm maybe somebody from K-State like Colin Klein.

   If you go by actual talent and not desperation; I would say one....  GENO SMITH of W. Va.

  1.  I like Ryan Nassib, SR Bowl doesn't do justice for his potential.  One game w/a thrown together offense does not a season make.   He may be a Buff. Bill on draft day; RD 2 - 3

   2.  Tyler Wilson , reportedly measured w/small hands.  Not Good.  Fumbleitis Matthicus.

   3.  Mike Glennon , has a bean stalk body type, not an NFL body, he looks like he will be broken in half come game day.  Must sit on the bench and get fattened up for game play. 

   4.  Matt Barkley , injured throwing shoulder I believe.  Tough to eval until he works out.
