Quarterbacks
Positional Overview:
This year’s QB class is an average group with the top two prospects expected to be selected in the top ten picks. Cam Ward is an outstanding looking prospect with accuracy, mobility, and a very high level of development. His complete skill set elevated him to the top of the class by far as the most NFL ready prospect. Shedeur Sanders is a fast-rising prospect after an amazing career at Colorado. He did not complete during the postseason when he sat out both the East-West and NFL Combine weeks. He was considered a guaranteed top ten selection, but that could be in jeopardy with a few clubs scared off by his lack of participation. He is clearly the biggest enigma in this draft class. Jaxson Dart has an excellent skill set and had impressive weeks at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He could surprise and get selected in the mid-1st round. Kyle McCord is a rising prospect off an excellent 2024 performance and postseason. He flashed blue-chip talent with a strong arm and good mechanics. He is one of the fastest rising prospects in this draft class and could move into the early rounds with the pressing need at the position. Tyler Shough is a hot prospect off his fine Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He shows a very strong arm with good footwork along with fine leadership and playmaking talent. Veterans, Jalen Milroe. Quinn Ewers and Will Howard have won a lot of games and titles over their careers. All have strong arms and running skills with the fast decision making and delivery to make consistently sound plays. Riley Leonard looked sharp at the Senior Bowl which impressed many scouts. He has shown fast development at the position and is a long-term gem. Seth Henigan and Kurtis Rouke are sleepers and can surprise if they land in the right coach/system. Both have had fine success and shown NFL talent with development. They could be major surprises in the right setting. Good group at top with 10-12 prospects chosen over the 3-day event. Expect 8-9 prospects chosen in the top 100 selections.

NFL Comparison: Jordan Love
Gifted athletic four-year starter at three schools excelled in his only season with the Hurricanes. Earned first team ACC honors in 2024 after an excellent two-year career at Washington State. Quality athlete with strong arm, quick feet and good mechanics to make all the throws. Developed well in the Washington State advanced passing game designed originally by former HC Mike Leach which accelerated his development tremendously after starting Incarnate Word and putting up elite statistics from his first season. Shows a quick setup with the ability to retreat well and set his feet while scanning the field. Moves well in the pocket under pressure with the ability to slide and create passing lanes. He has developed into a special passer whose arm strength, mobility, vision and accuracy allows him to make all the throws from a variety of platforms. Won Offensive Player of the Year in the ACC, throwing for over 4300 yards 39 TDs and 7 picks. Savvy leader with excellent vision and mobility to move in the pocket. Top arm talent with good power, a very quick tight release, fine accuracy and capable of throwing from the pocket or on the move. Very good mobility to escape the pocket and maybe more dangerous outside, throwing when improvising. His production improved annually despite the changing supporting cast. Matured well learning to deal with adversity and maintain his poise and lead the team. Good size (just under 6’2”) and frame (219) and reliable durability to be available weekly. Tough in the face of pressure to make the difficult throw. Highly probable 1st QB and overall pick who excels on big stage with few mistakes and top results. At his pro day, he put on a display of throwing, movement and versatility. He displayed a strong arm with a compact delivery and quick release. Dropped the ball in the bucket on the deep ball and showed power and accuracy on the intermediate throws. Good movement in the pocket and made fast adjustments on the move. Clear #1 overall QB in this class. If he was in last year’s draft class, he would be #5 or 6 at best. With the top three teams this year all seeking a starting QB, he will hear his name called early. Titans looking to get a contract signed prior to the NFL Draft. Excellent RPO passer with ceiling and early quality starter. Expected #1 pick.
