2021 NFL Draft: Predicting landing spots for the top 10 quarterbacks
The 2021 NFL Draft is loaded with intrigue at the quarterback position, starting at the top of the class with Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence who has been touted as a possible number one overall pick since he was in high school.
For some quarterback prospects, the writing is on the wall. It’s possible that Trevor Lawrence has known exactly where he was going to be playing football in 2021 for months already.
For other guys, the process has continued to play out, and teams are already jockeying for position to take quarterbacks near the top of the 2021 Draft.
The Jaguars hold the top pick, but the New York Jets will likely take a quarterback right behind them, and the San Francisco 49ers traded up from 12 to 3 so they could also take a quarterback.
The top three picks will likely be quarterbacks, but where will the top prospects in this year’s draft all land?
Some fits may be obvious. Others? Maybe not so much.
2021 NFL Draft top 10 quarterbacks
- Trevor Lawrence, Clemson
- Zach Wilson, BYU
- Justin Fields, Ohio State
- Trey Lance, North Dakota State
- Mac Jones, Alabama
- Kellen Mond, Texas A&M
- Jamie Newman, Wake Forest
- Kyle Trask, Florida
- Davis Mills, Stanford
- Feleipe Franks, Arkansas
It’s possible that all of these players will be selected before the conclusion of the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Although it’s extremely difficult to find starting-caliber players beyond round one these days, it’s certainly not impossible with the right player in the right situation with the proper development.
Let’s go through each one of these players and predict where they might land later on this month.
