One of my favorite things to do in the NFL off-season is to rank the draft picks by position.

So, I am going to begin the positions by starting with the quarterbacks. There is no front runner this year. I would think that Kenny Pickett is the most polished of all the quarterbacks. Malik Willis might be the one with the most upside. Let’s see how I rank them.

  1. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh
  2. Malik Willis, Liberty
  3. Matt Corral, Ole Miss
  4. Sam Howell, North Carolina
  5. Carson Strong, Nevada
  6. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati
  7. Kaleb Eleby, Western Michigan
