2025 NFL Draft Predictions: Landing Spots for the Top 5 QB Prospects

5. Quinn Ewers, Texas

Projected NFL Landing Spot: Cleveland Browns (67th overall)

Once hailed as a top high school recruit, Quinn Ewers enters the NFL as a high-upside project with undeniable arm talent. The 22-year-old threw for 3,472 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2024, flashing big-play ability and comfort outside the pocket. However, inconsistent footwork and a tendency to flee clean pockets raise questions about his readiness. Still, at 67th overall, the Browns get a developmental passer with starting potential as they try to recover from the Deshaun Watson disaster.

2. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Projected NFL Landing Spot: New Orleans Saints (9th overall)

Arguably the most polarizing quarterback in this year’s class, Shedeur Sanders draws mixed reviews from scouts despite a productive run at Colorado. Nevertheless, we have the Saints selecting him ninth overall as they plan for life after Derek Carr. Sanders’ quick release, pocket poise, and deep-ball accuracy make him a strong schematic fit in Kellen Moore’s offense.

3. Jaxson Dart, Mississippi

Projected NFL Landing Spot: Pittsburgh Steelers (21st overall)

The Steelers whiffed on their last first-round QB selection in Kenny Pickett. In our scenario, Pittsburgh takes another kick at the can and drafts Mississippi's Jaxson Dart. Dart's aggressive playstyle, combined with his mobility and leadership, give the Steelers a high-upside option to build around. Perhaps he'll have the benefit of learning behind Aaron Rodgers?

4. Tyler Shough, Louisville

Projected NFL Landing Spot: Seattle Seahawks (35th overall)

Standing at 6’5” and weighing 219 pounds, Tyler Shough has the prototypical frame of an NFL starting quarterback and possesses one of the strongest arms in this year’s class. After an injury-plagued three-year run at Texas Tech, the Arizona native revived his stock with an impressive lone season at Louisville, throwing for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just six interceptions over 12 starts. At 25, Shough is older than most prospects, but his raw talent is undeniable. He offers Seattle an intriguing contingency option should Sam Darnold struggle under center.
