2020 NFL Draft: Ranking the Top QBs Ready to Be Rookie Starters

In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately NFL, there is less patience than usual for rookie quarterbacks to get on the field and produce.

Besides an outlier like Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes, who sat comfortably for a year behind veteran Alex Smith, most high-profile rookie passers get thrown into the fire right away.

That was essentially the case for prominent 2019 first-round rookies Kyler Murray in Arizona and Daniel Jones in New York, with Dwayne Haskins in Washington not far behind.

Rest assured, teams will take immediate readiness into account this offseason when looking at free agency and what appears to be a top-heavy quarterback draft class.
