Someone is going to draft Jameis Winston – good luck with THAT – and someone will take Marcus Mariota because they’ll feel like they have to, and why? The rest of the quarterbacks in this draft are bad at playing football, and next year’s crop of prospects might not be appreciably better.

So that means quarterback-starved teams will let their desperation shine through as they draft from the bucket of yuck left to try to fill the gaping hole in their lives.

Who’s left after Mariota? Here are the five best quarterback prospects left on the board. Draft at your own risk.

Colorado State’s Garrett Grayson is a scouting favorite because he doesn’t come from some namby-pamby spread thing, but he has too much missing to his game. He looks the part, and is a terrific pure thrower, but he does everything a half-tick slower and too smallish considering his style of play.

Fourth on the list of future insurance salesmen is Brandon Bridge from South Alabama. Purely a developmental prospect, there’s a lot to work with but a lot of work to do. If he can get with a true quarterback guru, and if he’s given a few years, there’s a world of upside that most quarterbacks in this draft don’t have with the size, a dream arm, and great athleticism, but accuracy-wise he’s just as likely to hit the guy in the fifth row as he is his intended target.

Third up is Oregon State’s Sean Mannion, a pure pro-style passer who could make a very, very good living as a backup quarterback for the next ten years. He turned the ball over way too often, and there’s nothing truly special about his game, but he fits a pro-style system right away.

While the 2015 quarterback lot isn’t all that great, don’t be floored if Bryce Petty turns out to be the best quarterback in this draft if given two years to work. He’s an athlete, looks the part in workouts, and he’s a natural, pure passer, but he needs time on his progressions and needs to operate in a normal offense.

And finally, the No. 1 also-ran: UCLA’s Brett Hundley. Looks the part, acts the part, talks the part – he’s what you want your starting quarterback to be – but he can’t read a defense and he struggles way too much when pressured. Even so, he has the raw tools, he can move, and he has the arm. If given a few years to work, there might be something there.

Again, though, if you’re drafting any of these guys and you need them to produce this year, it’s uh-oh time.
