“It's Dak Prescott at eight. It's Justin Herbert at seven, and it's Lamar Jackson at six. ... Drake May at five, Joe Burrow at four, Matthew Stafford at three. ... I'm buying early on Caleb and Jaden Daniels, and so they're sitting at ten and nine in my top 10. ... I had Love at 11. ... And it is Josh Allen. ... there's a name that sits atop of my list, and it's the underrated and underappreciated Patrick LaVon Mahomes.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
