Dont really see why you are surprised that Ainge isnt on the list....He isnt really that good a QB....He has trouble with pressure in college...so imagine him in the NFL with Dwight Freeney, Urlacher, so on and so forth breathing down his neck...he would quickly begin to look like he did in that game against LSU a couple years ago where he lame ducked the pass as he was getting sacked in the endzone and they ran it in for a TD
Philly doesn't need 1. They have McNabb, and addressed the future QB in last season's draft. The Jets are going to let Clemens get at least a season under his belt before looking. Carolina might draft a guy in the 3rd/4th to groom, because Delhomme is solid when healthy. Green Bay probably still believes in Rodgers, and Jacksonville probably likes Gerrard enough to make a 2nd day pick of a project.
All in all, the only teams probably looking at 1st round QBs are Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Tampa Bay, and Minnesota.
With the body, mind, and pedigree that Ainge has, its a no brainer for a GM looking for a backup or a future replacement. Early guess is he goes to Tampa Bay or Minnesota, maybe Chicago, but people in Philly want Mcnabb gone, so maybe there (FYI I hate Philly and there fans)
