Ex-NFL QB claims he "wouldn’t be surprised" if four quarterbacks get selected in Round 1 of 2025 Draft

NFL analyst Chase Daniel believes that there is a chance that four quarterbacks will be taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft later this April.

In a social media post released to X, Daniel noted his belief that National Football League franchises tend to always reach for quarterbacks in the first round of the selection process.

"Wouldn’t be surprised if 4 QB’s go in Round 1….teams always reach." Daniel stated.

At this time, the only close to guarantee at QB in the first round appears to be Miami Hurricanes QB Cam Ward. The recent reports and news tend to highlight Ward as the clear favorite for the No. 1 overall position. However, should there be a surprise on draft night, it seems extremely unlikely that Ward would be passed at No. 2 overall by the Cleveland Browns or No. 3 overall by the New York Giants.

After Ward, though, there has been no definitive belief as to where some of the top quarterbacks will be taken. Some mock drafts have three quarterbacks taken in the top ten, while some only have Ward taken within the first round.

3 other QBs that may be taken in Round 1 of 2025 NFL Draft

As alluded to, Ward appears to be close to a lock to be taken in the first round. However, the other names that appear to be favored to be taken in the first round are Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe.

Sanders is an elite passer of the football who has great accuracy. Meanwhile, Dart is a well-rounded QB with a big arm and solid mobility. Finally, Milroe is a dual-threat quarterback who has proven to be phenomenal in the run game while at Alabama.

The teams in need of a quarterback this year and expected to look to add at the position in the draft are the Tennessee Titans, the Cleveland Browns, the New York Giants, the New Orleans Saints, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. With all five teams picking in the first round and with pressure from the fans and the media to improve at quarterback next year, there is a chance that all four quarterbacks will be taken in the first round.
