The top 11 quarterbacks in the 2021 draft class

We have reached that wonderful time of draft season when all the film is watched, the grades are calculated and it is time to put out some rankings.

This season offers five quarterbacks who might go in the top 15 of the draft, and then you might see a long gap until the sixth player is drafted at the position. You know the names at the top: Justin Fields, Mac Jones, Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson. All five are considered worthy of a first-round pick and speculation holds that four might come off the board within the first six selections.

Just how does this class as a group stack up?

Note: The percentiles in parentheses listed next to pro day data are compared to all historical athletic testing (combine and pro day) at the respective position of the player. Kudos to Pro Football Focus, and their Pro Day Schedule and Results Tracker, for this. As there was no scouting combine in 2021, and pro day schedules vary, we may not have all testing information for all prospects at publication time.
