Buchsbaum's draft observations
Comparing the top two quarterbacks
Tuesday, Feb. 29, 2000

| ProFootballWeekly.com asked PFW personnel analyst Joel Buchsbaum for his
observations on his top two rated quarterbacks on the draft board. Q: How do you
compare Marshall QB Chad Pennington and Louisville QB Chris Redman?
Buchsbaum: Pennington’s advantage is that he’s a little bit more mobile and
he’s a little bit of a quicker study. Redman’s advantage is that he’s
unbelievably tough and gutty and he’s "one of the guys" more than
Pennington. Pennington has a little bit of that Rhodes scholar air about him.
Q: As of right now, who grades out better?
Buchsbaum: Pennington grades out a little better. The biggest thing is there’s no
medical history on Pennington. With Redman, teams have a back and a knee they have to
check out.
Q: Is the one who’s selected first yet to be determined?
Buchsbaum: Probably. But the 49ers, if they go for a quarterback, would probably favor
Pennington because they like a more mobile quarterback.
