After talking with 8 NFL draft experts, Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports is making an argument that the 2018 NFL draft could embody its best-ever QB class.
He lists Josh Allen of Wyoming, Sam Darnold of USC, and Josh Rosen of UCLA as the top 3 QB draft prospects...all 3 likely to become top 10 NFL draft picks.
Tanner Lee and Clayton Thorson of Northwestern vie for the #4 spot in the class. However, Lee may not elect to enter the 2018 NFL draft.
When the discussion led to who is #4, one draft expert started by mentioning Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee, a transfer from Tulane who multiple sources indicated was among the most impressive quarterbacks among the college counselors at the Manning Passing Academy. Throwing in Thibodeaux, La., in shorts in June is a lot different than playing in pads in State College in November. But two others mentioned Lee, who at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds impressed a lot of observers. “The most intriguing one out there is Tanner Lee,” Savage said.” I’d put him in there as the fourth one. I think he’s going to be the name that no one knows that much about that has a really rapid ascent once the season gets started.” That said, Lee’s career TD-INT ratio is 23-21, and he has two years of eligibility left."
