Five teams in the top seven picks need a QB. Compared to last year’s class, the QB talent in the first-round is not as robust. Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are the top QBs in 2025. On Monday, February 17, Ward received the Davey O’Briend Award as the nation’s top QB in 2024. The 22-year-old had a clear message for the teams that pass on him in this year’s draft. Ward had this to say.

“If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault. You’ve got to remember you’re the same team that’s got to play me for the rest of my career, and I’ll remember that.” – Cam Ward
