We are very far out from the draft but almost done with the college regular season.
This quarterback (QB) class is much weaker compared to last year’s but still has a few good QBs who have caught my eye. Similar to last year, I will be posting an in-depth analysis and rankings of the 2025 NFL Draft Class position by position when we get closer to the draft. Below will be my early draft rankings of my top 10 QBs for the class; my round grades for each and some early comparisons.
*NOTE* Other than watching the games themselves from live TV broadcast, I have only watched one or two games for each QB in actual All-22 game film.
