Placeholder for QB Prospects
The 2020 quarterback class feels like one in which the order is mostly set—Burrow, Tua, Love/Herbert, Jacob Eason from Washington and then Jake Fromm of Georgia. There's a good chance we see all six drafted in the top 50 selections.
In talking to scouts this week, there is a strong feeling that demand will drive up the value of the supply. Take Fromm, for example. There are scouts who believe the Georgia quarterback's football IQ and experience will impress teams enough that they'll overlook a largely average career statistically at Georgia.
You could poke holes in every quarterback prospect in this class—Burrow's inexperience, Tua's injuries, decision-making from Herbert, Love and Eason—but the simple fact that so many teams need a 2020 starter or quarterback of the future is likely to drive value up.
When asked for a prediction, one personnel executive said five quarterbacks will be drafted in the top 15 picks.
The bad news about potentially six quarterbacks being drafted in the top 50 picks is that there isn't much depth after that. Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts struggled all week and was seen as maybe the next-best option at quarterback.
On my current big board, there are six quarterbacks in the top 60, but after that, the next quarterback is Hurts at No. 130 overall and then Cole McDonald from Hawaii at No. 185. This lack of quarterback depth in the middle rounds is why we could see aggressive moves from teams to come up the board to take a passer.
This isn't a year to hold off until Round 2 or 3 to get a quarterback you can develop. There's no Dak Prescott or Russell Wilson waiting in this class. If you need a quarterback, you'll be drafting one early

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

He's actually quite good with his analysis and breakdowns. And every once in a while Greenberg rolls the tape of that play just to mess with him. I laugh every time!
@"BarrNone55" said: My dream scenario is Love falls to 25 and the Colts panic and we land #34 and #44...Brandt has him at 21 and Jeremiah has him at 23, so he should land right in our area. If the Colts want him, they may need to move up to 22. The Pats sit at 23. The Saints at 24. Both teams would consider QB there.

Although if the Vikings got crazy and drafted Love themselves I wouldn't complain. ;)@"BarrNone55" said: My dream scenario is Love falls to 25 and the Colts panic and we land #34 and #44...
