The 2024 NFL Draft has the potential to be a historically significant quarterback class. For over a year, there has been hype about USC quarterback Caleb Williams as the presumptive No. 1-overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. North Carolina’s Drake Maye, meanwhile, was considered the sure-fire second quarterback prospect. But after the 2023 college regular season, NFL teams have not reached consensus on the grades of the quarterback candidates.

WalterFootball.com spoke with numerous sources, including area scouts, national scouts and scouting directors, and learned that teams across the NFL have the quarterbacks stacked in different orders. Some franchises have LSU’s Jayden Daniels as the top quarterback prospect, while others prefer Maye or Williams. Thus, there is not a clear-cut consensus across the NFL about who is the top quarterback and the order of the top quarterback prospects.

One AFC director of player personnel said:

As a team, we had Daniels as the highest-graded quarterback. I personally had a higher grade on Maye, but as a team, we had Daniels first, Maye second and Williams third.

WalterFootball.com learned, however, that for other teams that order was flipped. There were also teams that liked Maye the most. Heading into the 2023 season, Williams was viewed as the slam-dunk top quarterback and No. 1-overall pick for the 2024 NFL Draft. That opinion still survives among some teams as well.

An AFC national scout told WalterFootball.com:

I’ve done all of the top quarterbacks. Caleb is the generational talent to me …. To me, he’s definitely the top quarterback, and that’s how we graded him.

This statement kinda loses its power when it’s used all the time for a prospect

They said Trevor Lawrence and Fields were “generational talents” but they are average at best 3 years in.

GMs have gone complete retard

Daniels is not an NFL QB. If someone drafts him in the first rd, they’ll be fired within three years.

I bet you thought that Manziel was an NFL caliber QB too.

Justin Fields? Yeah, he’s certainly first round talent.

Where’s Michael Penix? I was told a week ago he was the best player in college football.

Daniels and Maye will both be better pros than Williams.

A lot of posturing going on…can’t recall a time where an overwhelming #1 like Caleb is at QB didn’t end up #1. Now sometimes the order should have been switched up but GMs usually puss out and go chalk
