The upcoming NFL Draft class is filled with talent at the quarterback position. Similar to what occurred last season, scouts and analysts have engaged in back-and-forth discussions regarding several prospects, although the first overall selection appeared to be determined months ago. Some even anticipate that the first three picks will all be quarterbacks. Keeping this in mind, Trevor Sikkema of PFF has shared his forecasts for where the top-6 quarterback prospects of the season will end up.
Unsurprisingly, he believes that the Chicago Bears will select Caleb Williams and part ways with Justin Fields to make room for the talented QB from USC. He also predicts that the Denver Broncos will make a surprising move by trading up to acquire Drake Maye from UNC. Furthermore, he suggests that the New England Patriots will choose LSU star Jayden Daniels as a replacement for Mac Jones, despite Jones expressing interest in remaining with the team.
In a surprising turn of events, Sikkema envisions Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy falling to the Washington Commanders, although there are rumors of Washington considering a trade for the No. 1 pick to reunite Williams with their new offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury. Additionally, he predicts that Bo Nix will join the Minnesota Vikings in an attempt to succeed Kirk Cousins as their quarterback.
Lastly, Sikkema proposes that Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. will be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders in this hypothetical scenario. It comes as no surprise that Penix Jr. is the last top quarterback prospect off the board due to his age and history of injuries.
