So which teams are going to be fighting for the top 3-4 QBs in the 2025 draft? (Updated Week 4)
100% no doubt
Tennessee
Carolina
Strategically could wait until 2026
N.Y. Giants
Miami
Might be tough (through financial commitments), but necessary
Cleveland
Four weeks in, it's looking that way
Las Vegas
Circle back after the season, we might have our guy
Pittsburgh
Retirement could force their hand
Los Angeles Rams
N.Y. Jets
I think this sample size of Arch Manning starts is really going to make things interesting for teams like the Giants and Miami. Both teams can easily commit to their current QB situations for another year and use their expected high picks in other areas. Obviously the Mannings aren't just going to let Arch play for any team, so being bad isn't necessarily going to get you in there.I actually think Miami might have the edge here if they were to let this Tua thing play out for an extra season. They have a QB friendly coach, system, playmakers. It really comes down to the teams that think Arch will be better than anything coming out in 2025 (Ewers, Sanders, Beck, etc.).
I'm still of the belief that there's a good chance Stafford will retire after this season. He is taking a horrible beating so far (on pace for 50 sacks).
Can't really put my finger on what Vegas is going to do. A team like that in a city like that really needs a face-of-the-franchise type QB, especially in a division with the Chiefs, but they feel like a 7-9 win team and it's hard to get the QB you want picking outside of the top 10.
