A recent ESPN poll of 20 NFL scouts and executives confirmed Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward as the consensus top two quarterbacks of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Eleven executives named Sanders as the draft's top quarterback, while nine went with Ward, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Scouts were much more divided when Thamel conducted the same poll in October. Back then, Georgia's Carson Beck, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Texas' Quinn Ewers received votes as the top quarterback in the class.

Consensus does not necessarily means scouts are confident in the 2025 quarterback class, Thamel noted.
