Cody Kessler · Mar 3, 2025
Kessler ranks the quarterback class with Cam Ward first, Shedeur Sanders second and Jackson Dart third, thinks Quinn Ewers is a second-round pick rather than a first, sees Dart possibly falling to Day 2, and offers pro comparisons for several passers.
“I'm solid with cam Ward being number one. Chador for me is still too, but I think that gap between two and Jackson Dart at three got a little bit closer this week.”

“Coucord for me, reminded me of Kirk Cousins, a little bit of a mid to later round guy could potentially become a starter.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
