Small School Quarterback Prospects for the 2009 NFL Draft

QB Hunter Cantwell, Senior, Louisville

Cantwell is blessed with a Big Time arm and the size to go with it (6'-4" 235lb) along with some unexpected mobility. The only thing lacking in his resume is experience. Although he played four games while Brian Brohm was injured, he lacks big game experience. This, added to the fact that the Cardinals lack proven deep threat receivers, make for some nervousness among scouts. If he can quickly mush with his receivers, he could move up on the 2009 quarterback class. As of today, he projects as a third rounder.

QB Graham Harrell, Senior, Texas Tech

Herrell is perhaps the Red Raider's best bed up to day to land a Heisman Trophy. But is he a good NFL prospect? He is slightly built (6'-3") and needs to add bulk. That said he is more than a "program passer." He had passed for an impressive 89 touchdowns in just two seasons. His arm is better than advertised and he does have mobility. Right now, he is no better than a fourth or fifth rounder. If he proves he is not a system QB, a thing he much likely had to do in the post season, he can sneak into the third round.

QB Chase Holbrook, Senior, New Mexico State

Holbrook is one of the Nation's best keep secrets. He is not a household name, but if he repeats his 2007 performance (3,866 yards with 26 TDs), he will be. He is big (6'-5") and strong (245lb) with a powerful right arm. He is very accurate on the mid patters as well as the deep out. He will need more coaching, but Holbrook could be drafted as high as the second round. He is that good. He's a better pro prospect than a college quarterback.

QB Tom Brandstater, Senior, Fresno State

The 6'-5" 221 pounder is seldom mentioned when the 2009 QB class is discussed. Although he probably will be drafted late on the second day, he has the intangibles to hang into a job, most likely as a career backup quarterback, in the NFL. He does not posses the strongest of arm and will struggle with the deep ball, but he is extremely accurate with the underneath patters. If he adds more muscle, he could be drafted as high as the fourth round.
