Ranking every quarterback drafted

With quarterbacks now locked in with certain teams, it is important to factor in team fit into the equation when ranking these quarterbacks.

Round 1 is in the books. Here’s what surprised us the most… 3. Chargers take DE Joey Bosa: Most figured it was going to be one of the top two offensive tackles or defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Bosa could be a weird fit in a 3-4 defense. I have a feeling they were dead set […]

Typically that word doesn’t surface until Day 3, the marathon Saturday when quarterbacks with both promise and flaws are scattered throughout four rounds. […]
