I've finished QBs. Who I chose to evaluate was based on either CBS Sports or ESPN (which are the two sites I trust the most on draft rankings) giving the player a draftable grade. Then, I threw in any player who was invited to the combine. I'd occasionally throw in a player who I was intrigued by.
At QB the following QBs were given a draftable grade--except Josh Woodrum, Trevone Boykin, and Jake Rudock. Woodrum and Boykin were invited to the combine. Rudock intrigued me, mainly because the guy started at Iowa and put up decent stats one year. Then, transferred to Michigan, started, and put up decent stats the next year. That gave me a list of 20 QBs to evaluate.

The second column is my ranking. The third column is my projection of where I'd draft the player. CRk is the consensus ranking of CBS, ESPN, and Draft Countdown. CRd is the range of when the player is projected to get drafted amongst those three sites. I generally don't trust sites like Draft Countdown, but this site usually ranks high in the rankings of rankings. I'll replace this one with McGinn's rankings when they come out. McGinn's rankings are normally at or near the top when it comes to rankings of rankings. The other columns are explained in more detail below. The last two columns are scheme fit and NFL comparison.Code:Pos Rk Rd Player Size SAA Arm Acc Mech Pre Post Poise Leader Scheme Fit Comparison QB 1 1 Carson Wentz Great Great Good Great Solid Great Solid Good Great Versatile Carson Palmer QB 2 1 Jared Goff Good Avg Solid Good Great Great Good Solid Great Precision Matt Ryan QB 3 1-2 Paxton Lynch Great Solid Good Good Avg Good Solid Great Good Versatile Joe Flacco QB 4 3 Connor Cook Good Solid Solid Solid Solid Good Good Avg Avg Precision Kirk Cousins QB 5 3-4 Cardale Jones Great Good Great Solid Poor Poor Avg Good Solid Vertical/Option Daunte Culpepper QB 6 4 Jacoby Brissett Good Poor Solid Solid Avg Solid Avg Solid Good Versatile Brett Hundley QB 7 4 Dak Prescott Avg Solid Solid Avg Avg Good Avg Poor Great Option David Garrard QB 8 5 Kevin Hogan Solid Good Solid Good Poor Great Great Solid Great Precision Ryan Fitzpatrick QB 9 5-6 Christian Hackenberg Good Solid Good Poor Solid Solid Avg Poor Solid Vertical Blaine Gabbert QB 10 5-6 Jeff Driskel Good Great Good Avg Good Avg Avg Poor Good Vertical QB 11 6 Brandon Allen Poor Solid Solid Solid Solid Good Solid Solid Great Precision Case Keenum QB 12 7 JAKE COKER Great Avg Good Avg Poor Solid Avg Solid Solid Vertical Dan Orlovsky QB 13 7-FA Vernon Adams Poor Good Solid Solid Avg Avg Avg Poor Great Precison/Option Seneca Wallace QB 14 PFA Brandon Doughty Solid Poor Poor Good Solid Great Solid Poor Great Precision A.J.

CHART
The first two traits are based on measurables. For SAA I use a modified SPARQ rating that I found on a Seahawks board a few years ago. There was analysis on what drills correlate to success in the NFL at each position. For QBs the only combine measurable (besides height and hand size) that really meant anything was SAA which combined 40 time, 3 cone drill, and short shuttle to measure mobility. Wentz, for example, had a solid 4.77 40 (2nd best in this draft, but historically slightly above average), but his measurements in the short shuttle and 3 cone suggests he has really good mobility (which I think the tape validates).Code:Trait Column Great Good Solid Avg Poor Size (Hgt) 1 - Size 6'5" 6'4" 6'3" 6'2" 6'1" Speed, Acceleration, & Agility (SpR) 2 - SAA 71+ 66-70 61-65 56-60 55- Arm Strength 3 - Arm Great Good Solid Avg Poor Accuracy 4 - Acc Great Good Solid Avg Poor Mechanics 5 - Mech Great Good Solid Avg Poor Pre-Snap Reads 6 - Pre Great Good Solid Avg Poor Post-Snap Progressions 7 - Post Great Good Solid Avg Poor Poise In The Pocket 8 - Poise Great Good Solid Avg Poor Leadership & Toughness 9 - Leader Great Good Solid Avg Poor
