2012 Top 5 Quarterback Rankings

I am getting the impression that USC's Matt Barkley will return to school.  Matt Barkley was not named one of the 5 Heisman Finalists plus I believe USC left tackle Matt Kalil will end up returning to USC which will cause Barkley to return to school.

Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson could creep into the first round if he declares.  Wilson will likely return to school though.

I'm not sold on Big 12 Quarterbacks Landry Jones or Ryan Tannehill because of the consistency.  Both signal callers have to do well in the bowl games to regain my support.

Landry Jones just reminds me of Roger Staubach physically and Ryan Leaf/Kyle Boller/Tim Couch from a mental standpoint.  Jones will go in the first round because of his physical tools.  I would not take Jones until day 3 of the NFL draft in the 4th round.

Ryan Tannehill had moments where he looked like a first round pick against inferior competition.  He also had moments where he played like a 4th round pick when struggling in big games against Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and a Texas secondary that lost 3 cornerbacks to the 2011 NFL Draft last season.

Who are the top 5 quarterbacks in the 2012 NFL Draft if you exclude USC's Matt Barkley, Oklahoma's Landry Jones, Arkansas's Tyler Wilson, and Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill?
