Top underclassmen (non-eligible) QBs to keep an eye on

We have talked alot about the 2013 draft eligible quarterbacks but I wanted to get your list of the top 10 (or however many you want to list) quarterbacks that are not eligible for the 2013 NFL draft class but you see being the next wave of talent for 2014 or 2015.

I know many will probably have Louisville sophomore Teddy Bridgewater at or near the top of their list, but I would like to see some other names that I can keep an eye on for the next two drafts. Obviously alot can change between now and when a player enters the draft, but as of right now how would your list look when you project the top non-eligible underclassmen based on where they are at right now in their development and where you project them?

What do you think of these prospects?
Maxwell Smith, Kentucky Wildcats (Sophomore), 6'-4, 224 lbs.
David Ash, Texas Longhorns (Sophomore), 6'-3", 223 lbs.
Jake Medlock, FIU Golden Panthers (Sophomore), 6'-3", 225 lbs.
Marcus Mariota, Oregon Ducks (Freshman), 6'-4", 211 lbs.

BRAXTON MILLER. If he improves his passing, he's RG3 (Yeah, I'm a homer, so what?)

Teddy Bridgewater is gonna boss in the league as well.

Keep an eye on the Clemson back ups as well (Stoudt and Kelly).

And lastly, Connor Cook, never played in an NCAA game (that I know of), but he'll be a good one for Michigan State.

I might just be cynical, but I only see two QBs I really like on RC's list :/. Granted, I haven't seen Smith enough.

Bridgewater is the real deal though. That dude can chuck it.

My top five, I suppose, although I still need to watch more tape on everyone. This includes some juniors who I don't think will come out, and are mostly high ceiling guys that have a ton of potential. Blake Bell is essentially t-5 as well, but I won't include him to be different.

1. Teddy Bridgewater
2. Blake Bortles
3. Maxwell Smith
4. Andrew Simien
5. David Fales

DISCLAIMER: Brett Smith would probably be top five if I'd have seen him play at all.

OTHER DISCLAIMER: Casey Cochran at UCONN, once he gets a chance to start, could end up on this list. He's small, but super accurate. Has Brees potential.

I agree with a lot of the names here, and I'm very anti-spread QB, but keep an eye on A&M's Johnny Manziel. He has the best throwing mechanics I've ever seen. He's 6'0 or 6'1 and releases the ball like he's 6'4 or 6'5.

If he can develop footwork at the pro level and has success in his next 3 or 4 years, I think he could be a very viable NFL QB.

Brett Hundley (RS FR - UCLA) and Teddy Bridgewater (TR SO - LVILLE) are my top 2 young QB's right now. Still need to see a bunch of others, but these two immediately stand out.

david ash is in no way an nfl qb and shouldn't even be drafted. He has a low ceiling even as college QB.
