The experts have spoken: 2025 QB class has two studs and a lot of questions

The demand for franchise quarterbacks in the 2025 draft at this moment in time is greater than the supply. Things can change dramatically between now and the end of the expanded College Football Playoff, but teams such as the Giants, Jets, Raiders, Titans, Browns, Panthers and Saints could all be salivating over just two quarterback prospects who are currently considered worthy of a top-five pick … and easily could go 1-2. A pair of top-rate evaluators — ESPN draft analyst and Insider Matt Miller, and Fox college football analyst Brock Huard — were summoned by Serby Says to offer their expert analysis. The two crown jewels are Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. With the way quarterbacks are overvalued during the draft process, Miller can envision Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers ultimately joining Sanders and Ward as top-10 picks, with Jalen Milroe a possibility only if a team sees Anthony Richardson in him. “I think it’s Shedeur 1, I think it’s Cam 2, and then I think that there’s a bit of a gap between the next crop of quarterbacks,” Huard said.“Those two are bona fide first-round, top-10 guys, franchise QBs, and I think, unfortunately, in a league that needs them and is starving for that supply chain to be rich every year, to me, the Carson Becks and the Quinn Ewers and the Jaxson Darts have looked very human, very mortal.” How many first-round quarterbacks as of this moment? “I think two — definite Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward,” Miller said.
