| 1 | Donovan McNabb, PHI | Prior to getting hurt, he tossed 17 TD's, ran for 6 more, averaging 229 yards/gm | |||||
| 2 | Daunte Culpepper, MIN | With Moss and Rushing TD's, Culpepper could make a case for being #1 | |||||
| 3 | Peyton Manning, IND | The safest pick of the QB's, Manning ranks third due to fewer rushing TD's | |||||
| 4 | Kurt Warner, STL | Questions surround Warner's health but his potential and Faulk make him a top 5 QB | |||||
| 5 | Aaron Brooks, NO | Another good year with 27 TD's that only an injury stopped from being even higher | |||||
| 6 | Rich Gannon, OAK | Gannon has averaged 30 TD's a season and hasn't missed a game in 9 years | |||||
| 7 | Jeff Garcia, SF | Garcia's production fell from 32 TD's to 21, reason to take him out of the top 5 | |||||
| 8 | Brett Favre, GB | Favre threw for 27 TD's and will likely throw for at least 25 more again this year | |||||
| 9 | Drew Bledsoe, BUF | Loss of Peerless Price will hurt Bledsoe's chances of throwing another 24 TD's | |||||
| 10 | Trent Green, KC | Green could be a real sleeper in 2003 especially if Priest Holmes isn't healthy | |||||
| 11 | Tom Brady, NE | If they only had a running game, Brady's numbers would surpass 30 plus | |||||
| 12 | Steve McNair, TEN | McNair keep churning out 20+ TD seasons and 2003 should be no different | |||||
| 13 | Matt Hasselbeck, SEA | A good young group of receivers could propel Hasselbeck into the top 10 QB's | |||||
| 14 | Drew Brees, SD | Brees could be a sleeper with Tomlinson and David Boston, look for 25 TD's | |||||
| 15 | Kelly Holcomb, CLE | Holcomb has been named the starter and moves into the top 15 quarterbacks | |||||
| 16 | Tommy Maddox, PIT | A great receiving corp should give Maddox every opportunity to increase his stats | |||||
| 17 | Kerry Collins, NYG | Another great receiving corp, including Shockey should boost Collins to 20+ TD's | |||||
| 18 | Jake Plummer, DEN | Denver is still a running team and Smith, Sharpe, McCaffrey are only getting older | |||||
| 19 | Brad Johnson, TB | Johnson threw 22 TD's and we expect similar results from him this year | |||||
| 20 | Patrick Ramsey, WAS | With R. Johnson in town, the verdict is out on Ramsey and the Washington offense | |||||
| 21 | Jay Fiedler, MIA | A broken thumb limited Fiedler to 14 TD's, otherwise, 20+ would have been in range | |||||
| 22 | Chad Pennington, NYJ | Pennington drops due to his injury. Pick up Testeverde as a backup for Chad | |||||
| 23 | Tim Couch, CLE | See above, Couch may have his hands full after the playoff performance of Holcomb | |||||
| 24 | Joey Harrington, DET | This rookie should improve on his 12 TD passes, but who will he throw them to? | |||||
| 25 | Kordell Stewert, CHI | Kordell has good receivers in Booker and Terrell, but only time will tell for Stewart | |||||
| 26 | David Carr, HOU | Still a young team with young receivers and a team that gave up a record 76 sacks | |||||
| 27 | John Kitna, CIN | Simply an average quarterback on a bad team with a bad group of receivers | |||||
| 28 | Marc Bulger, STL | Bulger is just one injury away from being a top 10 quarterback, take him as insurance | |||||
| 29 | Michael Vick, ATL | Vick's injury could include ligament damage which would end his regular season | |||||
| 30 | Jake Delhomme, CAR | A good receiving corp could put Delhomme on the map as the next Kurt Warner | |||||
