25. Tarvaris Jackson,Vikings- While he should improve, the name of the game in Minnesota is going to be running the ball with AP and Chester Taylor and a dominant offensive line. There's a chance for that occasional good game,especially with the addition of ex-Bear Bernard Berrian, but overall don't expect alot pass attempts from any QB here, whether it be Jackson,Frerotte, or Bollinger.
26. Brodie Croyle,Chiefs- Damon Huard still may be the QB come opening day, but either way the offensive line still needs to supply better protection. Expect a heavy dose of Larry Johnson as long as he stays healthy, and with WR Dwayne Bowe and TE Tony Gonzalez as the only real receiving threats, to use either Croyle or Huard as your starting QB could be risky.
27. Trent Edwards,Bills- J.P.Losman still has a chance to start on opening day, but until rookie WR James Hardy or someone else besides Lee Evans can become a receiving threat, either of these two should remain no more than a weekly play.
28. Matt Schaub,Texans- This offensive line is still being built and Schaub hasn't been able to stay healthy already. Feel free if you want to take a chance, but I think I would take my chances on nabbing him off the waiver wire instead if I liked his matchup.
29. (R)Matt Ryan,Falcons- Whether it be Ryan or veteran Chris Redman starting, this offensive line needs to get alot better for either of them to produce on a consistent basis.
30. Alex Smith,49ers- Smith will battle Shaun Hill to remain the starter. Either way the offensive line still needs to gel and their top receiver is still TE Vernon Davis,which means his blocking is still going to be needed enough to limit his looks and effectiveness as a receiving target. I would only use one of these guys in a dire emergency.
31. Josh McCown,Dolphins- John Beck,Josh McCown, or rookie Chad Henne, take your pick. The offensive line is still going to have problems and their receiving corps is not going to scare to many defenses, not to mention the fact that with RB's Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams around,expect alot of running. If you draft any of these QB's they better be buried deep on your bench.
32. Rex Grossman,Bears- Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, or maybe rookie Caleb Hanie.....does it matter? If you draft any of these guys you can hang your season up as soon as your draft ends! (I'm rooting for Hanie)
33. Kurt Warner,Cardinals- If I have room to spare on my roster I would think about stashing Warner if I could get away with it. He should be the starter to begin with, and if Leinart doesn't perform up to expectations,regardless of if he gets hurt or not, Warner could be a big pickup.
34. Brad Johnson,Cowboys- If Romo gets hurt, the Cowboys have so many weapons that the experienced Johnson should be able to put up some decent numbers.
35. Mark Brunell,Saints- Keep an eye on Brunell should anything happen to Brees, because the Saints like to put the ball in the air, and now have Shockey to add to the attack.
36. Sage Rosenfels,Texans- Rosenfels may be a better starter than Schaub to begin with, and could be a nice weekly play if Schaub cannot again survive the season.
37. Matt Cassell,Patriots- Just in case Brady ever got hurt, Cassell could turn out to be a decent weekly play.
38. Brady Quinn,Browns- Having to sit the bench again in his second year is not what Quinn was looking forward too. But if Anderson goes down he could be a good play
39. Jim Sorgi,Colts- Sorgi has stuck around for a reason, and with all their weapons, he should be a good play should Manning ever have to sit.
40. Seneca Wallace,Seahawks- Usually a good play if Hasselbeck gets injured.
