(Getty).

Top NFL Draft Quarterbacks: Throw Out the Hype on Matt Ryan
mvn.com 4/23/2008 — Brian Brohm is undoubtedly a franchise Quarterback, and he’s shaping up to be the steal of the NFL Draft. He can make every throw. Any team that picks Matt Ryan over Brian Brohm has made a bad pick, pure and simple.

Colt Brennan (Wrongly) Thinks He Lost Millions by Returning for Senior Season —

The Washington Redskins took Colt Brennan with the 186th pick in last weekend's draft . He was the tenth quarterback selected, and although Brennan seemed like a potential franchise player last fall, he'll struggle to make the 53-man roster behind Jason Campbell and Todd Collins . So what happened? Well, if you listen to Brennan, it was all about timing (via the Honolulu Advertiser ): The ...
Redskins take a chance on Hawaii's Brennan —
NFL - Sports Rumors - Yahoo! Sports
With the draft drawing to a close and the WashingtonRedskins still seeking a young quarterback, they selected Hawaii's Colt Brennan (6-2, 201), whom they scouted at his pro-day workout according to the Washington Post. "The thing that I look for, one of the strong suits of a QB, is can he hit what he's throwing at?" Zorn said. "Colt has done that. He's been a 70-percent ...

Don't really have many bad things to say about the Washington Redskins and they moves they made in the 2008 NFL Draft. They got two great collegiate receivers, some defensive backfield help, and my favorite QB in the draft Colt Brennan.
In one of their receivers, they probably also have someone who can win WKYS' One Nation hip-hop rap battle. Behold former Oklahoma Sooner Malcolm Kelly ...

BRENNAN GETS DRAFTED —
ProFootballTalk.com
Despite a checkered off-field past, a poor showing in the Sugar Bowl, recent hip surgery, and a 30-plus-pound weight gain, Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan has been picked in the 2008 draft.
The Redskins landed Brennan with the 20th selection (No. 186 overall) in the sixth round.
Brennan was the tenth quarterback selected.
Colt Brennan Goes to Washington ... to Back Up Jason Campbell and Todd Collins —
FanHouse
A confluence of events torpedoed Colt Brennan 's draft prospects -- a horrid Sugar Bowl (which wasn't entirely his fault) and some subpar off-season workouts -- but he's now been drafted in Round 6 -- some three or four rounds later than a lot of folks anticipated back in the fall -- which is something Andre Woodson still can't say. Brennan's new employer: the Washington Redskins, who ...

The 3rd String Safety
I like Jim Zorn a whole lot more now. Look the Redskins could have traded away their whole draft, like they always do. I have said many a time the Redskins needed a fundamental shift in the way they put together a football team. Yes, they were a playoff team...however they were an over matched playoff team. They needed to restock their roster with young talent, not only to win now and in the ...
Washington Redskins Select at QB Colt Brennan #186 —
The Redskin Report
We knew they wanted to take a development QB, but a big name guy like Colt Brennan is a bit of a surprise. Brennan was a Heisman candidate and put up huge numbers in the spread offense in Hawaii. He struggled when the competition was upped after they qualified for a BCS Bowl game, but had a very strong season up to that point. He’s the type of guy who some fans will want to see if ...

Washington Redskins 2008 Draft: Day Two Analysis and Final Grade —
The Redskin Report
As you get later in a draft, the goal shifts from finding stars to filling holes. The Redskins had landed three potential top tier offensive players on day one and spent the 2 nd day landing players who will likely be seen more often on special teams than in their respective positions. These weren’t sexy picks, but the Redskins improved their depth which is all you can really expect ...
The Colt Brennan Debate: Jaws, Are You Nuts? —
The Big Lead
One of the highlights of the draft’s second day: Ron Jaworski absolutely shitting all over on Hawaii’s Colt Brennan, and then getting called on it by Cris Carter and Mel Kiper Jr. Mort - who seemed subdued all weekend - mostly stayed out of it. ESPN must be commended for immediately getting the team that drafted Brennan - the Redskins - into the debate.

The Curly R: A Washington RedskinZ Blog
The next Drew Brees? Or the next Andre Ware? The Redskins used their eighth pick in the 2008 NFL draft, sixth round number 186 overall, to select record setting University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan. While not a prototypical NFL quarterback, Colt ran one of the most prolific offenses in football and may be a good pick to grow with Jim Zorn's offense. From nfl.com's profile of Colt: ...

So we're midway through the fourth round and the only quarterback drafted so far today is San Diego State's Kevin O'Connell. To the Patriots . USC's John David Booty , Kentucky's Andre Woodson and Hawaii's Colt Brennan are still on the board, which is kinda surprising given all the teams in need of quarterback help. I think Brennan's issues are more physical in nature , but Booty's and ...

So maybe the quarterback position wasn't as strong as a lot of mock draft nerds suspected. Matt Ryan went third overall, and the Ravens traded back into the first round to grab Joe Flacco , but Brian Brohm and Chad Henne lasted until late in Round 2. Still, four guys went on the (new and improved!) Day 1 of the draft, which is right about at the historical average*. But there are still ...
