The quarterbacks of the class of 2011 had an interesting season.
Forgotten First Rounders: 2005 " Pick 256
Alex Barron – OT – 19th overall – St. Louis Rams Barron wasn’t an especially bad player, being a near full time starter for 5 of his 6 seasons in the league. However, being a mediocre starter who took too many penalties on a mediocre (at best) line isn’t good enough for a top 20 pick. One has to wonder how long Barron would have survived on a deeper roster or one which had fewer qualms about dumping marginally productive and overpaid players regardless of draft status.

Defensive prototypes: Defensive Backfield | ProFootballFocus.com
So far this week we’ve looked at defensive prototypes for the defensive line and for linebackers and in this final installment, we move to the secondary. As we work our way back from the line of scrimmage, things only get more complicated. In an attempt to counter offenses that have had things go ever more their way in recent years, new and more complex coverages have been devised, often involving intricate disguises and split-field concepts. This makes it more challenging for quarterbacks to key in on what is happening and know where and when to deliver the football, but also makes the job of profiling players in any given scheme a tougher task.

That was the consensus opinion among many high-profile draft pundits, an opinion that remained right up until he hit rock bottom at the end of last season.
