Last year, I wrote a similar prediction\u00a0post of what I thought about the 2016 QB Draft class<\/a>, where they would get drafted and how many QBs would get picked.\u00a0I was money on some picks, and completely off on others.<\/p>\n

I predicted a total of 12 quarterbacks to be drafted over three days and seven rounds; 14 were drafted. So I was close on that overall prediction, however I was off on a lot of the teams that I either predicted who would draft a QB or where they would go, like Cardale Jones, who I only predicted to the Browns or 49ers, and that’s my bad, because earlier in my post, I saw Buffalo was going to take a QB in the middle of the draft, which they did.<\/p>\n

This years QB class is much different and in all honesty, minus Wentz and Goff, overall, might be better right now, than last year’s rookie QB class was.<\/p>\n

The amazing thing is, in the last five NFL Drafts, a total of 57 quarterbacks have been drafted, yes, 57. They are as follows:<\/p>\n

2012- 11<\/p>\n

2013- 11<\/p>\n

2014- 14<\/p>\n

2015- 7<\/p>\n

2016- 14<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The names have included Andrew Luck, Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, Wentz, Goff, Dak Prescott, Jimmy Garoppolo, Ryan Tannehill, Russell Wilson, Teddy Bridgewater, and Kirk Cousins.<\/p>\n

That same list has included pretty much the entire 2013 class, RG3, Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden, Bortels, and Johnny Manziel, QBs that haven’t lived up to the hype or never took off to begin with.<\/p>\n

And that’s the beauty of the NFL Draft and in particular the QB Class, like it or not, they are the life of the party of the draft. They are the first thing everybody talks about, and it’s fun.<\/p>\n

The 2017 class offers a group of four passers that are the best of the bunch and could all go\u00a0on Day 1 of the Draft. That’s\u00a0followed by as many as\u00a0four to six second and third day selections, giving us what we believe to be a group of 8-10 QBs taken in this year’s draft.<\/p>\n

With that, let’s take a look at teams that are QB needy:<\/p>\n
