The 2025 quarterback draft class isn’t what you would call impressive. There are no “can’t miss” prospects coming out of college, but there are a handful of players who could come in and make a fantasy impact, either right out of the gate or at some point down the line.

The group is led by Miami’s Cam Ward, who is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick of the Tennessee Titans. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is considered the next-best quarterback in the class. He could come off the board as early as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns, or he could fall to the ninth overall pick and land with the New Orleans Saints.

Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart is next in line. A mobile quarterback with a big arm, he could land with the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 overall. Jalen Milroe, out of Alabama, is a running field general who projects as a Day 2 selection. The Cleveland Browns or New York Giants could give him a look at the top of the second round, though Milroe could also fall to the Steelers at No. 83 if they pass on a quarterback in Round 1.

The rest of my top 10 quarterbacks are all potential NFL starters down the line, or will be backup signal-callers at the next level.
