You have to factor in some common sense.

Vince Young might have been one of the top 2 QBs in that class, but I don't touch him with a 10-foot pole.

Kids with poor mechanics or coming from spread offenses should almost immediately be crossed off the list, barring extenuating reasons (see: athletic freak of nature).
