As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the anticipation is tempered by uncertainty, particularly regarding the quarterback class. Analyst Nick Baumgardner points out that only Cam Ward is rated as a first-round pick among quarterbacks, contrasting last year's stronger class. He emphasizes the risks of drafting Shedeur Sanders high unless the team has a robust supporting cast. The discussion reflects broader concerns about teams rushing quarterback prospects without adequate preparation, potentially leading to a cycle of failures.
"There is one quarterback, Cam Ward, with a true first-round grade on Dane's board. Last year, there were three quarterbacks with Round 1 grades, all rated inside the top eight overall."
"If you are truly thinking about taking Shedeur Sanders at No. 2 or No. 3... and your roster is flawed to a point where even a successful rookie QB won't be enough to fix you, then you just shouldn't do it."
"Teams land in quarterback hell by way of a vicious cycle - they take a guy who isn't ready, cross their fingers and wind up having to bench that QB by the end of their second year."
