It is a two-man race for not solely QB1, however for the entire variety of quarterbacks to go in Spherical 1. Because it stands, Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders have made their case — and may have the subsequent few months to proceed to take action — and the handful of NFL teams that want franchise QBs will probably be jockeying for place to draft them.
The truth, nevertheless, is that neither Ward nor Sanders would’ve been any higher than QB5 in final yr’s draft class that included Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix … among the many first 12 picks. However each gamers have made massive strides this season and have solidified their spots not solely in Spherical 1, however doubtless the primary two picks — although Sanders’ teammate, Travis Hunter, is the clear-cut greatest participant on this class.
By the best way, the final time precisely two QBs went in Spherical 1? Again in 2015, when Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota went first and second (which is strictly how issues may play out on this draft cycle, too). The subsequent quarterback chosen, Garrett Grayson, did not go till Spherical 3 … which is also the case this time round.
