20. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
I just do not see a whole lot of ‘special’ with Jayden Daniels. What sticks out with this team and with this QB? He has already missed time this year with a dislocated elbow and is on a losing football team. Sure, he has not thrown an interception this year, which is something, I guess, but the Washington Commanders are now 2-5-1 on the season and again in a tough spot.
They have won just seven regular season games since the start of the 2025 season, and Daniels’ injury history has been an unfortunate part of this stretch. He also doesn’t seem to have a great ‘feel’ for the game when it gets tight, as we have seen some sloppy late-game play from this team.
Based on what we have seen this year from Daniels, I am not sure this is a QB that the front office needs to run to extend this offseason. Getting healthy in the offseason and actually staying on the field would go a long way. He’s had a rather underwhelming, forgettable season that only looks good on paper.
19. Drew Lock, Seattle Seahawks
Are we allowed to rank Drew Lock this high? Yes, yes we are. Lock has five passing touchdowns and a 71.1 percent completion percentage this year for the Seattle Seahawks and has been the best QB on the team thus far. The Seahawks now move to 2-0 in Lock’s starts. Lock had to come in for a majority of that Week 1 game, so that one was essentially another win.
Lock was with Seattle in 2022 and 2023 and then returned to the team in 2025. He’s fitting into that high-end backup QB tier, which is ideal, as he is honestly keeping this season alive for the Seahawks.
The cool thing with Lock is that he is every bit of a high-ceiling player when he gets going - he’s got the arm strength and mobility to extend plays and push the ball down the field, and he clearly has the experience as a starter to help him guide the team when he needs to step into the lineup.
I am not sure the Seahawks need to rush Sam Darnold back with the way Lock is playing.
