These are my own evaluations of which NFL teams are most likely to draft a quarterback. Obviously, just because I think a team should, doesn’t mean they will, especially if that team is the Chicago Bears. And often teams who don’t need a QB will nab one in the later rounds for depth. But this list isn’t about who will simply draft a QB, it’s about who will draft a QB early–in the first 2-3 rounds.
Teams are listed including a current depth chart at QB.
1. Detroit Lions Dan Orlovsky, Daunte Culpepper, Drew Stanton, Drew Henson
2. San Francisco 49ers J.T. O’Sullivan (FA), Alex Smith, Shaun Hill
3. Tennessee Titans Kerry Collins (FA), Vince Young, Chris Simms (FA)
4. Chicago Bears Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman (FA)
5. St. Louis Rams Trent Green, Mark Bulger, Brock Berlin
6. New York Jets Brett Favre? Kellen Clemens
7. Tampa Bay Bucs Jeff Garcia (FA), Brian Griese, Luke McCown, Josh Johnson
8. Kansas City Chiefs Tyler Thigpen, Damon Huard
9. Minnesota Vikings Tavaris Jackson, Gus Frerotte
10. Seattle Seahawks Matt Hasselbeck, Seneca Wallace, Charlie Frye (FA)
11. Jacksonville Jaguars David Garrard, Cleo Lemon
12. Miami Dolphins Chad Pennington, Chad Henne
13. Arizona Cardinals Kurt Warner (FA), Matt Leinart, Brian St. Pierre
Top Free Agents: Matt Cassel, Kurt Warner, Jeff Garcia, Kerry Collins, Charlie Batch, J.T. O’Sullivan, Patrick Ramsey
