Looking for a quarterback in the ?  You might be out of luck unle s you're the , , or, perhaps even the . Those are the three teams most closely a sociated with the two elite signal-callers -- and -- in this year's draft cla s.  If you're a team with a need at the position and willing to wait a bit to find your franchise guy, Baylor quarterback could be attractive to some clubs as the third quarterback off the board in Chicago ... with one small caveat.  "When I look at Bryce Petty starting at the next level, I think he has that potential but I think it's a few years off," said NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout, on 's "Path to the Draft." "You wouldn't think a guy Paul Watson Jersey  that threw as much as he did in college is a project, but to come out of that system (at Baylor) and adjust into an NFL system, I think it's going to take some time."  Fellow analyst Mike at his position, but he'll have plenty of competition for that spot over the coming weeks from UCLA's and Colorado State's . All three are considered projects for teams based on the fact that they will have to learn how to operate in an offense that is much different from the one they operated at in college.  "These guys are coming from the spread offenses where they don't even take snaps under center. That's one thing you have to do," NFL Media's Curtis Conway said. "Even the language is a lot different in the pros and these guys that want to come in a start right away, it's going to be tough."  Petty does appear to have the tools, however. He's got great size at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, and is highly regarded for his athleticism and speed. A back injury he suffered his senior year (the same one as QB ) might be concerning for some clubs but impre sive numbers like 62 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions speak to his upside.  Like at Baylor, where Petty sat several seasons behind and another quarterback, it might take a while before Petty is winning games for the NFL team that picks him up in the draft.  You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .  Patrick McCaw Jersey
