The following are given the lowest rank merely because the QB situations are in flux....i.e. we don't really know who will be starting when the first game comes.
29-32
29. Jacksonville, will it be Chad Henne, or Blake Bortles (it will eventually be #3 overall Bortles..but when?)
30. NY Jets: will it be Geno Smith or Michael Vick?
31. Cleveland Browns: Will it be Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel?
32. Minnesota Vikings: Will it be Matt Cassell, or Bridgewater, or someone else?
FYI, this is Gospel, there can be no argument with these rankings. If you do so you will incurr the Wrath of the Gods, or Khan...or you will be whipped with a wet noodle...or, if you disagree you may be right and I may change my mind.

Here may be the area that is more debatable: Here are the backup QBs for each team, per Ourlads NFL Depth Charts. Which teams have the best/worst situations here:
(alphabetical)
Arizona: Drew Stanton
Atlanta: TJ Yates
Baltimore: Tyrod Taylor
Buffalo: Thad Lewis
Carolina: Derek Anderson
Chicago: Jimmy Clausen
Cincy: Jason Campbell
Cleveland: List Hoyer as starter, Manziel backup
Dallas: Brandon Weeden
Denver: Brock Osweiler
Detroit: Kellen Moore
Green Bay: Matt Flynn
Houston: Case Keesum
Indy: Matt Hasselbeck
JAX: List Henne as starter, Bortles as backup
Kansas City: Chase Daniel
Miami: Matt Moore
Minnesota: List Cassell as starter, Ponder as backup, Bridgewater #3
New England: Ryan Mallett
New Orleans: Luke McCown
NY Giants: Curtis Painter
NY Jets: List Smith as Starter, Vick as backup
Oakland: Derek Carr
Philly: Mark Sanchez
Pittsburgh: Bruce Gradkowski
San Diego: Kellen Clemens
Seattle: Tavaris Jackson
San Francisco: Blaine Gabbert
St. Louis: Shaun Hill
Tampa Bay: List Josh McCown as starter, Glennon as backup
Tennessee: Charlie Whitehurst
Washington: Kirk Cousins.
Oddly, some of the ones I listed as having the worst QB situation may be in good shape as far as backup is concerned. McCown/Glennon in TB, Henne/Bortles in Jax, Smith/Vick in NYJ, even the Browns.

Nice list, not too bad. Maybe move Newton down, Romo up and id put Jax at 32.
Jacksonville's situation will be resolved probably before any of the other "up for grabs" spots. They didn't draft Bortles #3 to sit.
At most I would only move Newton down 1-2 slots, and the same for moving Romo up.

Not bad. I do question your placement of Stafford, Cutler and Foles though. All I think will outperform those ranks

Who do you drop down if you raise them up?

Here is spin on the rankings. Probably take some crap about Russel Wilson but I see him a a game manager which is adequate with their defense.

You have Stafford at #7. While I think he may have #7 talent, I don't think he has #7 accomplishment, and I think he has had adequate opportunity to reach that level but has fallen short.
I would not put Foles at #9....yet. Maybe by the end of this season, sure. He is the guy I wanted the Browns to take in lieu of Brandon Weeden in the same draft.
