Which QBs are projected and in which order? Besides Beck?

1 (1) Carson Beck - Georgia

2 (2) Shaduer Sanders - Colorado

3 (10) Quinn Ewers - Texas

4 (19) Connor Weigman - A&M

5 (20) Riley Leonard - Notre Dame

SEC with 15 of the 32 projected first round picks. 

U left Michigan out the 3 in first round 

Shaduer is NOT better than quinn and is a HUGE reach for the first round. I felt the same way about JJ McCarthy this past year going in the first round.

Here’s another stat:

Only 8 of 32 are transfer portal guys. There were 9 in 2024.

Sorry misread that

Weigman in the first round?!

Weigman in the first round strains credulity, but that doesn’t preclude some dumb NFL exec from actually making that pick.

Weigman is very talented IMO. His issue is health.

Connor Weigman is first round is laughable 

This years qb class definitely not close to last years class 

Riley Leonard is going to fly up draft boards this year as long as he performs this year against better comp. I think he goes 1-1!

Shaduer number 2 is laughable. Weigman - well we’ll have to see if he completes the season. 

I don’t buy sheduer being better at ANYTHING. (Including rapping) than Quinn

I agree, but is one healthy year enough to vault him into the first round?

Exactly, how is he getting graded so high? He's played in 9 games... I don't get it.

You have to let it play out, there will be guys that have a great year and jump into the 1st round. Just like this last group.

Yes, he'll actually need to play in meaningful conference games to really know where he stands. Some trash OOC games are doing a lot of heavy lifting for his stats so far. 

 

That said, Ewers will need another big leap this year to get drafted in the 1st round IMO.

Sanders and Weigman - lost all credibility with those picks.  I'll take Leonard over both of them.

Maybe the author thought he was mocking the MLB draft?
