It's notoriously hard to be a late-round pick at quarterback and make it on the opening day roster. A couple of fifth-round picks may do it this year, however. The Steelers are high on quarterback Dennis Dixon, whom I interviewed before the draft. Luckily for him, an injury to Charlie Batch has left them a little thin at quarterback.

For Buccaneers rookie quarterback Josh Johnson, however, four other quarterbacks who have won games for the Bucs are ahead of him on the depth chart: Jeff Garcia, Brian Griese, Luke McCown, and Chris Simms. Although Simms will likely be cut or traded, the other three are reliable options for quarterback fanatic Jon Gruden.

I got a chance to talk with him about Johnson and his chances to make the team.
