1. Cam Ward (Miami Hurricanes)
Pros: Next level arm talent paired with escape artist traits. Can play with an excellent feel and calmness within chaos. Quick release with a smooth delivery with various arm angles regardless of if feet are set.
Cons: Consistency issues. Struggled against top-tiered defenses. Care free play style can lead to bad sacks and turnover worthy throws. Needs to button up quick reads and getting the ball out on schedule to succeed in the NFL.
Pro Comparison: Caleb Williams with a little Mahomes and Jordan Love
2. Shedeur Sanders (Colorado Buffaloes)
Pros: Elite accuracy, and excellent decision making. Gets the ball out on time more frequently than most college QBs. Quick release with a smooth throwing motion. Excellent pocket awareness and enough mobility to extend plays and find the open man. Very few bad mistakes. NFL bloodlines and arguably the most pro ready.
Cons: Has played very few games against elite defenses. Lacks elite arm strength and doesn’t make as many wow throws as Cam Ward. Isn’t a big time threat as a runner.
Pro Comparison: Geno Smith mixed with CJ Stroud and a little Brock Purdy
3. Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss Rebels)
Pros: Solid arm strength paired with great feel for touch. Can make difficult throws off platform and with multiple arm angles. Moves like an athlete despite not having blazing speed. Willing to take hits and improvise as a runner. Plays with a certain swagger that seems to be contagious to the guys around him.
Cons: Hasn’t played in a pro style offense. Hasn’t proved he can anticipate throwing into NFL windows usually has to see the guy open to throw it. Accuracy can get lost at times with some wild inconsistencies.
Pro Comparison: Sam Darnold talent paired with Bo Nix vibes. Hoping for Carson Wentz MVP season and not Sam Howell
4. Jalen Milroe (Alabama Crimson Tide)
Pros: Better arm than given credit for recently. Throws a really pretty deep ball that he can drop in a bucket. Excellent rushing upside that can be schemed up and utilized. Academic heisman and great intangibles.
Cons: Significant challenges with accuracy and decision-making. Struggled very much during the Senior Bowl practices.
Pro Comparison: Hoping for Jalen Hurts but probably closer to Malik Willis
5. Dillon Gabriel (Oregon Ducks)
Pros: A ton of experience, especially in big time games. Quick release with good timing and anticipation. Throws with good velocity as proven in Senior Bowl practice (set record). Could be a top-end backup for all 32 teams.
Cons: Lacks ideal size and doesn’t make a ton of wow throws. Doesn’t seem like he could elevate a team the way you’d want to when picking a franchise QB but could excel in the right system
Pro Comparison: Tua Tagovailoa mixed with Case Keenum
6. Riley Leonard (Notre Dame Fighting Irish)
Pros: Exceptional athlete and football IQ. Great leadership qualities.
Cons: Needs better consistency and likely needs to revamp his passing mechanic.
Pro Comparison: Ryan Tannehill but maybe glimpses of Carson Wentz
7. Tyler Shough (Louisville Cardinals)
Pros: Very experienced passer with a strong pocket presence. Very poised and a good leader.
Cons: Injuries plagued his college career, raising durability concerns.
Pro Comparison: Nick Foles
8. Will Howard (Ohio State Buckeyes)
Pros: Impressive stats at Ohio State, demonstrating a strong arm and good decision making. National champion.
Cons: Limited starting experience, and had all the weapons in the world surrounding him.
Pro Comparison: Mason Rudolph
