The 2025 NFL draft is on the way, and with it comes a brand-new series. Instead of rolling out the full 2025 draft kit like I’ve done in years past, this year I’m breaking things down position by position.
This format allows for more concise, digestible evaluations that get straight to the point — ranking the top-10 prospects at each position.
While past kits featured a more generalized top-10, this series will dive deeper into my individual evaluations and the reasoning behind each ranking. We’re kicking things off with the quarterbacks — a class full of intrigue, potential, and a few names you’ll be hearing called early come draft night.
Let’s start at No. 10 and work our way to the top.
Riley Leonard is one of the most physically intriguing quarterbacks in this class. At 6-foot-4, 216 pounds with 4.5 speed, he brings legitimate dual-threat ability. He’s a dynamic athlete with a smooth throwing motion and a natural deep-ball touch — two of the hardest traits to teach. Leonard has flashed the ability to make high-level throws on the move and has excellent spatial awareness in the pocket, giving him the tools to extend plays without panic.
He’s a strong leader who earned the respect of both the Duke and Notre Dame locker rooms, which speaks volumes about his character and presence. Leonard is at his best on designed runs, off-platform throws, and boot-action concepts. However, he does have some technical and mental flaws that need addressing.
His lower-body mechanics fall apart under pressure, and he tends to drift when stuck on his first read. He also suffers from “hero ball” syndrome — forcing plays rather than taking the checkdown or throwing it away. His footwork from under center is inconsistent, and there are questions about his ability to operate a full-field progression offense. Add in a notable injury history, and you get a prospect who’s more projection than polish.
Leonard is still just 22 years old, so the upside is there. In the right situation, he could develop into a long-term QB2 with spot-starting potential. But there’s a lot of refinement needed before he can be trusted with the keys to an NFL offense.
Tyler Shough (pronounced “Shuck”) is a 6-foot-5, 219-pound quarterback with athletic traits that immediately pop on tape. He clocked a 4.63 40-yard dash and posted strong testing numbers in his jumps, showing a level of mobility and burst that’s rare for his frame. Mechanically, he’s clean — with a smooth, compact release and the ability to deliver with good velocity and placement, especially on touch throws.
The downside? He’s 25 years old, turning 26 before his rookie season, and has dealt with a laundry list of injuries. He’s played in just 42 games over seven seasons and has bounced around three Power Five programs. The durability concerns are real, including a broken fibula and other lingering injuries. He’s also developed some bad habits as a result, including drifting in the pocket and rushing his feet under pressure, which likely stems from years of getting hit.
Despite the concerns, Shough is well-versed in both spread and pro-style offenses, understands protections, and has starter-caliber arm strength. If he can land with a strong coaching staff and stay healthy, he has the upside to carve out a role as a capable backup — or more if everything clicks. But he’s very much a “buyer beware” prospect.
Kyle McCord is a classic pocket passer with good size (6’3”, 218) and a clean release. He’s accurate, confident in pre-snap reads, and has one of the best deep balls in the class. He lays throws well and shows great anticipation in red-zone scenarios. When he’s in rhythm, McCord can carve up defenses with his poise and timing.
That said, his lack of mobility and inability to create outside of structure limits his ceiling. He also has a tendency to get overly aggressive — forcing balls into tight windows when safer check-downs are available. His footwork can get erratic under pressure, leading to elevated throws or sails. At times, he locks onto his first read and struggles to progress through his options when the pocket collapses.
McCord profiles as a developmental pocket passer with the mental tools to grow into a long-term backup and occasional spot starter. He’ll need to improve his processing speed and trust in the offensive structure to stick around, but his arm and deep-ball accuracy give him a solid foundation.
At 5-foot-11, 205 pounds, Dillon Gabriel doesn’t pass the eye test, with subpar arm length, small hands, and modest athletic testing numbers. But don’t let the measurables fool you. Gabriel has one of the best football minds in this class and has proven himself as a smart, savvy quarterback across multiple systems and programs.
His anticipation is elite, consistently hitting receivers in stride with high-level ball placement, particularly on intermediate routes. His release is quick and compact, and he brings a gunslinger’s mentality to the field with good velocity on short throws. He’s highly mobile within the pocket and shows excellent spatial awareness. What stands out even more is his adaptability — having thrived in spread, air raid, and pro-style concepts across stops at UCF, Oklahoma and Oregon.
Still, the size concerns are legitimate. Gabriel struggles to see over the line and lacks the arm strength to drive the ball outside the numbers. He’s unlikely to ever be more than a high-end backup, but his football IQ, anticipation and leadership give him staying power.
Think of him as a Stetson Bennett or Matt Corral type — not flashy, but competent and reliable enough to earn a long-term backup role and spot start when needed.
Once viewed as a potential first-round pick, Quinn Ewers has slid down the board — and for good reason. While he has solid tools and flashes of arm talent, the red flags have begun to pile up. Ewers has a natural feel for rhythm passing, shows good touch and timing and can create throwing lanes with different arm angles. There’s a little moxie to his game, and when he’s on, he looks the part of an NFL quarterback. But those moments are inconsistent at best.
Ewers lacks mobility, and his touch — even on simple throws like screens and dump-offs — is spotty. Under pressure, his vision deteriorates, and his mechanics unravel. There's also a concerning injury history, particularly with multiple upper-body injuries dating back to high school. Perhaps most troubling is the regression in his decision-making, which at times looked like he was seeing ghosts out there. That’s a major red flag for evaluators.
In a year with few top-tier quarterbacks, Ewers' fall to the second or third round speaks volumes. His arm talent is still there, but a lack of growth, paired with inconsistency and durability concerns, puts him firmly in the Day 2 conversation. There’s still a chance for him to stick, but he’ll need the right landing spot, system and coaching to tap into what once made him such a highly-regarded prospect.
At 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, Will Howard looks the part of an NFL quarterback. After transferring to Ohio State, he showcased impressive arm strength and the ability to operate efficiently in a pro-style offense. He’s a refined play-action passer, comfortable under center, with good footwork and a willingness to extend plays through contact. He’s not elusive, but he’s tough in the pocket and capable of making throws with defenders hanging on him.
Howard sees the field well, especially against zone coverage, and processes information quickly pre- and post-snap. However, his stock took a hit after a rough showing at the combine, where mechanical inconsistencies with his timing and tempo were exposed. He’s stiff in the pocket and not particularly creative — if the first read isn’t there, he’s more likely to lock on than work through progressions. His lack of natural fluidity limits his off-script potential.
Another factor working against Howard is his age. At 24, he’s an older prospect with a more limited developmental runway compared to others in this class. While he has the mental makeup and physical tools to be a high-end backup or eventual starter, it will take the right team and system to bring that out. He’s likely a Day 2 pick — a safe, smart bet for a team looking to develop a reliable long-term option behind an established starter.
Jalen Milroe is one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in this class. At 6-foot-2, 217 pounds with a 4.4 40-yard dash, he’s built like a running back and runs like a wide receiver. His explosive athleticism is matched by a cannon for an arm, with the ability to throw 50-plus yards downfield with minimal effort. There are clear flashes of Malik Willis and even Justin Fields in his game, both as a raw passer and a dynamic open-field threat.
Milroe plays with an intense competitive fire and isn’t afraid to lower his shoulder in short-yardage or red zone situations. He shows flashes of high-level processing, particularly against zone coverage, and can manipulate defenses with his eyes when he's on. That said, he’s still a work in progress. His ball placement on short and intermediate routes is erratic, often forcing receivers to adjust or halt their momentum. He has small hands, which raises some concerns about ball security, especially in colder climates — a la Kenny Pickett.
Perhaps the biggest issue is that Milroe’s mental processing and touch haven’t caught up to his physical gifts. His finesse throws often sail, and he struggles with anticipation and accuracy when asked to operate from the pocket.
There’s real boom-or-bust potential here. If he can be developed with patience and structure, similar to what we’ve seen with Jalen Hurts, there’s a path to becoming a starting-caliber quarterback. But if not, there’s a risk that he ends up being more of a gadget or wildcat weapon than a true long-term option under center. Teams will be fascinated by the ceiling, but it’s a gamble.
Jaxson Dart is one of the more intriguing evaluations in this class, drawing some comparisons to Bo Nix and even shades of Sam Howell as a prospect. He operates well in rhythm and plays with good touch and timing, especially on intermediate throws — consistently placing the ball to maximize yards after the catch. Dart plays in a favorable system at Ole Miss, which brings some questions about how much of his production is scheme-driven, but his traits stand out regardless.
He’s a solid athlete with enough speed to be a factor on designed runs and in scramble situations. While he’s not a burner, he can create when plays break down and has a solid understanding of RPOs — something that adds to his fit at the next level.
Dart also shows a strong willingness to step into throws and adjust arm angles in collapsing pockets, and he plays with a toughness that will appeal to NFL coaches. He thrives in uptempo situations where he can process quickly and attack defenses in rhythm. Off the field, he’s known as a respected leader and a player teammates rally around.
However, his deep ball accuracy needs work. Once he gets beyond 45 yards, his mechanics break down, leading to missed opportunities. He also has a tendency to bail on clean pockets and drift unnecessarily, something that will need to be corrected at the next level.
Against elite defenses, especially in obvious passing situations, his production dips. He can struggle when forced to stay in the pocket and work through full-field reads. Dart is most dangerous on the move, in a scheme that allows for quick throws and movement-based concepts. If used properly, he could develop into a quality starter.
The No. 2 spot in this quarterback class is one of the more hotly debated in NFL circles, with names like Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe often thrown into the mix. But for me, it’s Shedeur Sanders. Sanders is a strong athlete with a skill set that fits well in today’s NFL. He’s got the tools, the pedigree and the mindset to be a first-round quarterback in almost any draft year.
Sanders possesses a polished, confident game, particularly in the short and intermediate areas of the field. When presented with more traditional or simplified defensive looks pre-snap, he thrives, processing quickly and delivering with sharp accuracy. That veteran poise shows up under duress, too. He’s composed in muddy pockets and maintains consistent mechanics and accuracy, even when things get hectic around him. His command of the huddle is evident, and he brings a franchise-quarterback demeanor to the field that coaches and teammates respond to.
Still, there are clear areas for development. The biggest issue for Sanders is diagnosing more complex, disguised coverages — something that became glaring in his Alamo Bowl performance. He’s often too confident in his arm, forcing throws into tight windows that simply won’t be there against NFL defenders with elite closing speed.
His pocket presence is a concern: rather than stepping up and delivering, he has a tendency to drift under pressure, holding onto the ball far too long. That contributed to him being sacked 52 times last season — an alarming number that speaks to both the offensive line issues at Colorado and Sanders' reluctance to throw the ball away.
Despite those red flags, Sanders does a lot of the hard things well. His processing, leadership, ball placement and toughness give him a strong foundation to build on. If he can speed up his decision-making, trust his protection and learn to pick his spots more wisely, he has the chance to be a very good starter in the NFL.
Cam Ward is my top quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft, but let’s be clear — that doesn’t mean he’s a top-10 talent. It means he plays the most valuable position in football, in a class without many elite, can’t-miss prospects at other positions. Ward's combination of production, tools and upside — paired with the league’s desperation for quarterbacks — makes it likely he hears his name early on draft night.
A Heisman finalist after a strong 2024 season, Ward checks a lot of boxes physically. He measured well in terms of size and athleticism and put plenty of high-level plays on tape. His release is lightning quick. He can squeeze passes into tight windows, and he has the creativity and improvisation skills to extend plays when things break down.
Ward thrives in the intermediate game, especially on crossers and seam routes, and displays some of the best poise in the class under pressure. He’s got solid mental processing and presence in the huddle — traits that show up in big moments.
But there are concerns, too. Ward relies heavily on raw arm talent and too often skips the fundamentals, like resetting his feet or stepping into throws. That leads to accuracy issues, particularly on deep balls. His mechanics need refinement, and he has a tendency to chase the highlight-reel play instead of taking what the defense gives him.
He also struggled with ball security, fumbling eight times in 2024. On top of that, he can be fooled by disguised coverages and has shown some inconsistencies in leadership and competitiveness — concerns that were magnified when he unexpectedly exited the Pop-Tarts Bowl despite playing well.
Still, Ward has the tools to be a franchise quarterback if he lands in the right system with the right development. He’s not a clean prospect, but he’s a worthy gamble at the top of the draft.
