The 2025 NFL Draft class is an extremely interesting overall group, and one that lacks a bit at the quarterback position. There is, as always, still value to be found. That is especially true at the top, where Cam Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) are projected to be selected inside of the ten selections.

Over the next couple of months, we will continue to do a deeper dive into which NFL teams fit each of them best. Here are some potential team fits that make sense with the best 2026 signal callers. There are several that make the most sense. 

Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)

Out of the quarterback-needy teams near the top of the draft, one could argue that the Giants are the best landing spot for a rookie quarterback. They have a legitimate No. 1 option at wide receiver in Malik Nabers, as well as an improving offensive line. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is also a talented running back coming off of a good rookie season. Sanders would be afforded with getting the ball out to a pretty good supporting cast around him in space, which is his biggest strength.

Best fit: New York Giants

Cameron Ward (Miami)

The Will Levis experiment didn’t work in Tennessee, and that has scarred some from investing into a volatile gunslinger. Here’s the thing, Levis isn’t near the prospect that Ward is, and the latter is actually productive. With the Titans still rebuilding the right side of the offensive line, having a quarterback that is calm against pressure with a little bit of magic could be needed. That’s what Ward brings.

Best fit: Tennessee Titans

Jalen Milroe (Alabama)

With Baker Mayfield in place, finding an immediate starter isn’t needed. You can, however, always invest into the quarterback room. Milroe is a project play on Day Two, but the long term payback could be huge. He’s a dynamic athlete with a very strong arm. This would be a worthwhile investment for a team with a veteran quarterback.

Best fit: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss)

With Aaron Rodgers leaving the building, the quarterback position is in a state of flux in New York. It’s believed that they could be in the veteran quarterback market and depending who they land, a potentially Day Two option may be needed. Dart is a smooth athlete who is tough as nails in the pocket. His arm is a bit limiting but there are enough tools to at least become a solid starter on the NFL level.

Best fit: New York Jets

Tyler Shough (Louisville)

The Raiders are in a very strange spot. With the No. 6 overall selection, they could very well be out of the range to get either Ward or Sanders. That could mean investing in the middle rounds for a developmental option could be more optimal. Shough has several concerns, including age and durability, but he is still very talented. With size, good arm talent, and some underrated athleticism, there is a lot to work with.

Best fit: Las Vegas Raiders

Dillon Gabriel (Oregon)

An undersized left handed quarterback in Miami? That sounds awfully familiar. The Dolphins need to invest some serious capital into finding a suitable option behind Tua Tagovailoa. Gabriel isn’t coming in to start for the Dolphins, but he is a much better option behind him than what they have had previously.

Best fit: Miami Dolphins

Will Howard (Ohio State)

Ohio natives will love this fit. Howard just led the in-state Buckeyes to a college football national championship, and he would be met with a lot of excitement. If Cleveland doesn’t invest in a quarterback in the first round, they would be best served to draft a higher floor quarterback in the middle portion of the draft. Howard isn’t overly exciting as a talent, but his size, accuracy, and experience would be welcomed.

Best fit: Cleveland Browns
