Here's a nice Mortensen article on this year's quarterback class. We prob won't be in the market for any, but a lot of the personnel guys keep making references to Bledsoe:
" 'He's the best no-risk guy among the quarterbacks,' said one scout of Palmer. 'He might not be instant potatoes, but give him a couple of years and you have a guy. You might even get Drew Bledsoe.' "
" 'Forget Palmer, Leftwich is Drew Bledsoe,' said one top-10 guy. 'He's real big (6-5½, 245 pounds) like Bledsoe. He'll stand real tall in the pocket and make all the throws.' "

Just shows how lucky we are to have made it out with Bledsoe for the 14th pick. I think Drew did a lot last year, at least during the first half, to bring back demand for a true pocket passer.
