Brohm has no regrets, evening as draft stock falls

If the NFL draft were the stock market, then Louisville's Brian Brohm would be Bear Stearns. Last year at this time, Brohm was considered by many a top-five pick, his value peaking. Yet he bypassed the 2007 draft to return to Louisville, had a difficult campaign, and now he might slip out of this year's first round completely.

While this year's crop of quarterbacks is headlined by Boston College's Matt Ryan, who is expected to be selected within the first eight picks, the 6-foot-3-inch, 230-pound Brohm might have the most compelling story because of his unexpected plunge. He insists he has no regrets.

"My season didn't go as well as expected, but I feel like I learned a lot from that," the 22-year-old Brohm said. "I wouldn't go back and change a thing."

    Even if he made the wrong choice as far as football goes, a lot of NFL players are broke by 45, so staying in school was good in the long run. Plus hes still the second best quarterback in the draft and an absolute steal in the second round.

    I think he will be a starter on a better team. Ryan will go to the Dolphins or Falcons and get the crap smacked out of them. Every one sees this and says what a bad pick, instead of what a bad team. Brohm will most likely go to the Ravens which is an okay team that needs a quarterback to become a great team. The back end of his contract will be a lot better than the front end. Slow and steady wins the Superbowl Ring.

    The funny thing is that if Bobby Petrino had stayed with the Falcons he probably would have talked Arthur Blank into taking his old college QB with the 3rd overall pick. As it turns out Atlanta may end up getting him at the start of the 2nd Round anyway.

    Rivals.com has this guy going to the 9ers at the bottom of the first round. I believe that might happen, but I have very grave doubts that he'll stay there. There's no way the 9ers are going to get rid of Alex Smith, & there's no way they utterly waste either their first or second round pick without getting a player they need. They desperately need help at o-line & wideout, not QB. So, watch & see who Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, & maybe Minnesota draft. I won't be the least surprised if one of those four teams is actually drafting for SF, who will trade Brohm & maybe their third rounder.
