Alright, skipping the intro and getting straight into it, let’s talk about the 2025 NFL quarterback draft class. I’m just a regular person who watches football religiously, so don’t take my word too seriously. But honestly, after watching this class, it’s safe to say it’s pretty underwhelming. I mean, if you’ve been following draft analysts, you know this class is just meh. It’s one of those years where the quarterback talent is thin. We’ve got a lot of defensive players and wide receivers shining, but when it comes to quarterbacks, it’s not looking great. If your team needs a QB, I’m sorry to say this, but you’re not going to find your franchise guy here. The only hope is probably finding someone in the first round, but even that’s a stretch. There are only two quarterbacks worth taking in the first round.

 

 

Let’s get into the prospects, and again, don’t take me seriously, I’m just sharing my thoughts.

 

Shedeur Sanders – The Best of the Bunch

Shedeur Sanders is easily the best quarterback in this draft class. He’s one of the two players I’ve mentioned who actually seem NFL-ready. Now, that doesn’t mean he’ll be an immediate success, but the gap between Sanders and someone like Quinn Ewers is massive. Sanders just plays with a level of confidence that you rarely see. Watching him at Colorado, you can tell he’s built different. He makes plays that most quarterbacks wouldn’t even attempt. His numbers speak for themselves: 26 touchdowns to just 6 interceptions, 2,888 passing yards, and a 72.9% completion rate. Sanders is definitely the most accurate quarterback in this class.

 

The only thing to watch out for is the system he lands in. He needs to be in a place that’s ready to compete, not a rebuilding team. A place like Cleveland or the Giants could be perfect for him, as they have the weapons to help him succeed. But if he ends up in a place like Carolina, with all due respect to Panthers fans, he might struggle. Without Travis Hunter—who, by the way, is an elite talent—Sanders could face challenges, but overall, he’s the best option in this class. Expect him to go in the first three picks.

 

 

Cam Ward – A Solid Option

Cam Ward is another solid quarterback, and for me, he’s a 1A to 1B pick with Sanders. You know what you’re getting with him—he’s a safe choice. He’s a great player who will come into a system and ball out. If you watched him at Miami, you saw what he can do—when he’s on, he’s almost unstoppable. But there are a few concerns with him. His completion percentage is just 63%, and he sometimes holds the ball for too long in the pocket. At the college level, he’s able to get away with it, but in the NFL, those extra seconds can lead to sacks or off-target throws. He’s already aware of this issue, though, and it’s something he’ll need to fix to avoid mistakes at the next level.

 

Ward has a rocket arm and can run over defenses like a truck, so he’s a solid pick if he lands in the right system. If he can refine his game, he could become a star. He’s a high-ceiling player, but also one that needs the right team around him to succeed.

 

 

Quinn Ewers – A Work in Progress

Quinn Ewers is where we start to see a drop-off in talent. He’s a big project. Ewers has a solid arm and can make some nice throws, but he’s been surrounded by a top-tier offensive line at Texas. It’s hard to gauge his true talent when his protection is among the best in the country. His footwork needs work, and he tends to make mistakes under pressure. He struggles to read the defense properly, sometimes throwing passes straight into coverage.

 

Ewers has potential, but he’s more of a project than a prospect right now. I think he’ll need to sit behind a veteran for a few years, maybe with a team like the Rams or the Buccaneers, before he can become a solid starter. He’s not ready to be a franchise guy just yet, but if a team is patient, he could eventually develop into a competent starter.

 

 

Carson Beck – The Worst in the Class

Carson Beck is, in my opinion, the worst quarterback in this entire class. I don’t care what anyone says, the hype around him is unwarranted. He started the season as a potential No. 1 overall pick and a Heisman contender, but now he’s putting Georgia’s playoff hopes in jeopardy. Beck has struggled against ranked teams, and even when he wins, he doesn’t blow out the competition. I mean, if he wasn’t playing at Georgia, would he even be on the radar? His performance just doesn’t stack up to the hype.

 

Beck struggles with decision-making and accuracy, and he lacks the athleticism that some of the other quarterbacks in this class have. If a team takes a chance on him, I wouldn’t expect much. He’s a backup at best, and honestly, I’d say he’s a day-three pick, if anything. He’s not a guy I’d bet on.

 

 

Drew Allar – Just Average

Drew Allar is one of those quarterbacks who doesn’t stand out. He’s big at 6’5”, which is the perfect size for an NFL QB, but beyond that, he’s just average. He’s not particularly agile, and while he has a strong arm, he struggles with accuracy and consistency. When the pressure is on, he tends to make mistakes, and he can’t seem to string together good performances consistently.

 

He’s got the tools, but his performances haven’t shown enough for me to be excited about him. I think he’s more of a project with a lot of potential but a high risk of failing. He could succeed if he’s drafted by the right team, but there’s also a huge chance he misses. I’d say he’s a second-round pick at best.

 

 

Kyle McCord – A Hidden Gem

Kyle McCord is a sneaky pick in this draft. Not a lot of people are talking about him, but I think he has a lot of potential. He played well at Ohio State, and while he had some rough games, he’s shown the ability to make solid reads and has all the tools you’d want in a quarterback. He’s 6’4”, 225 lbs, and has a strong arm. He’s not afraid to run the ball either, even though he doesn’t always have success doing it.

 

McCord’s potential could be unlocked if he’s placed in the right system, perhaps as a backup for a few years before he’s thrown into a starting role. He’s not NFL-ready right now, but with the right coaching, he could turn into a solid quarterback down the line.

 

 

Jackson Dart – A High-Risk, High-Reward Player

Jackson Dart is another quarterback with a lot of upside. He’s got a rocket arm, and when you watch him at Ole Miss, you see the potential. He can run and throw, and he’s tall with a nice drop-back. But he also takes a lot of risks, and that can result in bad decisions and turnovers. His upside is great, but he’s definitely a high-risk, high-reward player.

 

If he lands on a team with fast weapons and a solid offensive line, Dart could develop into a starter. But if he’s on a team in the middle of a rebuild, he might struggle. He’s someone to keep an eye on, but not someone I’d take a chance on in the early rounds.

 

 

Jalen Milroe – A High Ceiling, But Inconsistent

Finally, we have Jalen Milroe. As an Alabama fan, I’ve watched him closely, and while he has the tools to be elite, he’s incredibly inconsistent. Milroe has a cannon of an arm and the ability to run like a running back. He’s shown flashes of brilliance, especially against teams like LSU and Georgia, but he also has games where he struggles with accuracy and decision-making. He’s tough, and he’s built for the NFL, but he still has a lot of room to grow.

 

If a team drafts Milroe, they’re taking a high-risk, high-reward player. He has the potential to be a franchise quarterback, but he needs the right system and coaching to get there.

 

In conclusion, the 2025 NFL QB draft class is far from impressive. There are a few good quarterbacks—like Sanders and Ward—but overall, this year’s crop is filled with projects and risks. If your team is in need of a quarterback, you’re better off hoping one of these guys falls into the right system and develops over time. But don’t expect any instant stars from this class.
