The recent NFL draft revealed a surprising depth in quarterback talent, with 14 quarterbacks selected, tying the record from 2016. Shedeur Sanders, notable for his early hype, fell to the fifth round, highlighting the competitive landscape. Analysts like Rick Neuheisel and Greg Cosell weighed in on the strengths and weaknesses of top prospects, offering insights into their potential and fit within their new teams.

Among the top picks, Cam Ward was selected first overall by the Tennessee Titans, praised for his calm under pressure—a trait that previously eluded Will Levis. The New York Giants' pick, Jaxson Dart, is expected to develop similarly to Josh Allen, focusing on building leadership traits. Tyler Shough and Jalen Milroe bring experience from various college programs, while Dillon Gabriel's short stature raises questions but also evokes comparisons to other successful undersized quarterbacks.
