The NFL’s perpetual need for dependable, young, and inexpensive quarterbacks has led teams to often select them higher in the draft than their talent might warrant. However, the 2025 NFL Draft saw a departure from this trend, with only two quarterbacks taken in the first round. This was due to concerns about the talent available and the potential flaws that could give teams pause. Despite the importance of the quarterback position, teams have resisted overdrafting quarterbacks in this year’s draft. This has led to top prospects like Shedeur Sanders not being selected in the first round, despite being projected by many as a top-10 pick. As the draft continues in the second and third rounds, the availability of quarterbacks like Jalen Milroe from Alabama provides teams with further opportunities to address their quarterback needs. The NFL landscape is shifting as teams become more discerning in their selections, prioritizing talent and fit over simply drafting a quarterback early based on positional need.
