2025 NFL Draft Tiers: Quarterbacks

Sorting through Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Sough and the rest of the class

It’s here! Jon and I continue our deep dive into the 2025 draft class with a look at the top quarterbacks. We discuss what we value when scouting the position, the clear top tier quarterback, how the number two and three spots sort out and much more.

Cam Ward - How special can Ward be in the NFL? What flaw could keep him from that ceiling? What team are the guys hoping to see Ward go to in the draft?

Shedeur Sanders - I’m relatively optimistic that Sanders has a chance to reach a stylistically similar starting NFL QB, but Jon is worried the upside might not be enough to take a chance on him.

Jaxson Dart - Jon thinks there is a good bit to work with in Dart's skill set, but we are both worried about what kind of instincts he has to play this position in the NFL

Tyler Shough - A clear NFL talent with some fun highs on his tape, but he has a fatal flaw that he may not be able to overcome in the NFL

Jalen Milroe, Will Howard, Quinn Ewers and other QB sleepers
