Via The Big Lead, we dive in and take a look back at 2003, where all of Mel Kiper’s projections for greatness went way wrong. It should be noted that Charles Rodgers was in that draft, and is no longer in the league, but for all intents and purposes, we’ll glance at just the QB’s. Here they are:

1.) Carson Palmer: Good record. Hurt last year. Was a Pro Bowler. Really hasn’t been the same since he was knocked out of the playoff game against Pittsburgh.
7.) Byron Leftwich: He backed up Joey Harrington last year. I think that’s enough said.
19.) Kyle Boller: A kid I felt bad for. I always thought he’d be better, but the people in Baltimore expected him to be Joe Montana immediately. He got a tough break going to a team with very little offense.
22.) Rex Grossman: He went to a Super Bowl. Still…. he played behind Kyle Orton last year, and has been subject of many “benching” talks throughout the years.
88.) Dave Ragone: Who? The Big Lead says he’s doing a radio show with Scott Padgett now.
97.) Chris Simms: He’s probably got a good chance of being the starter this year in Denver. That said, his competition isn’t much.
110.) Senaca Wallace: He got some playing time last year with Hasselbeck hurt, but hasn’t done much through his career.
