Quarterback Rankings 2021 NFL Draft

QUARTERBACK PROSPECT RANKING 2021 NFL DRAFT

With nearly half the teams in the NFL without a solid long-term starter at the quarterback position, it only increases the chances of QBs coming off the board early in this 2021 NFL Draft. Fortunately for teams deprived of a quality signal-caller this year, the pickings are rich. With five prospects likely to go in the first round, possibly all by the 12th pick!

You would have to have spent the last couple of years in a coma not to have heard of the top prospect, Trevor Lawrence, who is as close to a lock at number one as it is possible to be and regarded as the best QB prospect to enter the draft since Andrew Luck.

He is followed by Zach Wilson, who has moved up draft boards over the last few weeks and now is being projected going number two overall to the Jets. The top of the Quarterback class is rounded out with former Five-star recruit Justin Fields, Division 2 superstar Trey Lance and Texas standout Mac Jones.
