The Washington Redskins think University of Hawai'i quarterback Colt Brennan will be going into a good situation.

Brennan, the most prolific passer in NCAA history, was the 20th player taken in the sixth round and 186th player selected overall in today's NFL draft. He was the 10th quarterback taken in this draft.

"One of the strong suits as a quarterback is 'Can he hit what he's throwing at?'" said Redskins coach Jim Zorn, who spent the last seven years developing quarterbacks as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks. "Colt has done that. He's been a 70-percent passer. If he understands what's going on, we could hit pretty good with a guy that could come in and support."

"Jim Zorn liked all the intangibles ... leadership on the field," Vinnie Cerrato, vice president of player operations said on ESPN. "The guy has had a ton of success."

When Cerrato was asked what Brennan had to work on the most, Cerrato said the Redskins had the perfect person "to coach him and teach him, (new head coach) Zim Zorn. It's just what the doctor ordered for him."

Zorn is a former Seattle Seahawks star quarterback.

Cerrato added that Brennan is in a good situation because they were "looking for a guy we can develop ... there's no pressure, we got a starting quarterback (Jason Campbell)." The backup is veteran Todd Collins.

Brennan completed over 70 percent of his passes in his career and threw for 131 career scoring passes, all NCAA records. In 2006, he also threw for 58 TD passes, another NCAA record.

Despite his onfield success, Brennan was passed over nine times as quarterbacks came off the board.

Four quarterbacks were selected in the fifth round, including USC's John David Booty and Oregon's Dennis Dixon.

The quarterbacks selected ahead of Brennan were Boston College's Matt Ryan (Atlanta, first round), Delaware's Joe Flacco (Baltimore, first round), Louisville's Brian Brohm (Green Bay, second round), Michigan's Chad Henne (Miami, second round), San Diego State's Kevin O'Connell (New England, third round), USC's Booty (Minnesota, fifth round), Dixon (Pittsburgh, fifth round), San Diego State's Josh Johnson (Tampa Bay, fifth round) and Tennessee's Erik Ainge (New York Jets, fifth round).
