Every offseason, ESPN writer Mike Sando gathers a group of “league insiders” to create tiered rankings of all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks (In$ider).
This year’s panel was made up of 50 insiders, including: general managers, head coaches, coordinators, quarterback coaches, personnel executives, analytics directors, and others. These insiders assigned each quarterback a grade from 1 (best) to 5 (worst). The grades were then compiled into an average and the quarterbacks were divided into four different tiers.
Last year, Carson Wentz was graded as a Tier 3 quarterback at No. 21 overall.
