West: QB Cody Fajardo, Nevada (6-2, 216)

Projected round: 5-6

Fajardo and Colin Kaepernick are the only two FBS quarterbacks to throw for 9,000 yards and rush for 3,000 in a career. He is an excellent runner but avoids taking unnecessary hits. Fajardo has a quick release but can be somewhat inconsistent with his mechanics. He threw 193 passes without an interception, a Mountain West Conference record.

West: QB Taylor Heinicke, Old Dominion (6-1, 205)

Projected round: 7

Heinicke threw for 5,076 yards and 44 touchdowns in 2012 and won the FCS Walter Payton Man of the Year award. His numbers declined his final two seasons, throwing for 4,022 yards in 2013 and 3,476 in 2014. Heinicke has been impressive in the week leading up to the Shrine Game. "In two practices this week, Heinicke has showed excellent timing and rhythm with his footwork and release, displaying proper ball velocity and spin off his hand," Dan Brugler of CBS wrote.
