Indianapolis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese are the teams we’ve identified as either needing a QB, looking for depth, or have been rumored as possibilities to land a QB.\u00a0With that, we’ll quickly run through each of the teams listed:<\/p>\n
Arizona-<\/strong> The Cardinals are going to draft a QB this year, you can almost take this to the bank. The only question is where? Round 1, 2, 3, or later on Day 3.<\/p>\nBuffalo-<\/strong> The Bills are a huge question mark if they aren’t sold on Tyrod Taylor nor Cardale Jones. I would put this at little to zero chance they get a QB, but you never know. I didn’t think Miami would take anybody last season, and they did.<\/p>\nCleveland-<\/strong> This is a no brainer.<\/p>\nNY Jets-<\/strong> I put the Jets on the list because just about everybody believes they’ll take\u00a0a QB, but in my honest opinion, I don’t think they need a QB. They have Bryce Petty (2015) and last year’s second round pick, Christian Hackenberg. They are OK at this position, but again, you never know.<\/p>\nNY Giants-<\/strong> Eli Manning is turning 36, and at some point, you’re going to have to start preparing the franchise for the next signal caller. If not this draft, then maybe the next.<\/p>\nSan Francisco-<\/strong> The 49ers might be the most interesting storyline when it comes to QB this draft. If they take a passer, except it to be a day two or more likely, a day three pick in rounds 4-7.<\/p>\nLA Chargers-<\/strong> See the Giants above<\/p>\nNew Orleans-<\/strong> See the Giants and Chargers above<\/p>\nWashington-<\/strong> Another interesting storyline here. Kirk Cousins is the man right now, however if a long term deal isn’t worked out after this season, and because they’ve exhausted the franchise tags on Cousins, the Redskins could be on the outside looking in when it comes to their QB in 2018. They can draft a QB in rounds 2-4, and develop him under Cousins this season just in case Kirk leaves. If not, then no worries at all.<\/p>\nPittsburgh-<\/strong> Big Ben hinted at retiring this offseason, and the Steelers already have a solid backup in Landry Jones, however, Pittsburgh could be looking at someone different other than Landry. Maybe he’s not the long term answer they are looking for and is viewed as more of a backup QB than a starter.<\/p>\nHouston-<\/strong> The Texans are taking a QB in this draft, there is no doubt about it. They will not play the entire 2017 season with Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden as their QBs.<\/p>\nKansas City-<\/strong> I don’t think the Chiefs need a QB, they are ok with Alex Smith, but he did suffer what many people thought, were two concussions in one game. They’ve also played musical chairs with their backups the last couple of seasons (Tyler Bray, Nick Foles, Chase Daniel, and Aaron Murray), so it leaves the Chiefs with a lean towards adding a passer.<\/p>\nIndianapolis-<\/strong> The Colts will add a QB strictly for depth<\/p>\nSo with the 13 teams listed as possible QB needy teams, we take a look at the prospects we have getting picked in the order we have them ranked.\u00a0 And with that, we have our predictions for the 2017 quarterback draft Class.<\/p>\n
