Sleeper QB Prospects Flying Under the Radar Ahead of 2019 NFL Draft

Quarterback is the most scrutinized position in professional sports, yet a few quality performers still fall through the cracks during the NFL draft.

Eleven of the league's projected 32 starters didn't hear their names called in the first round. Five of those weren't even acquired until the fourth round or later.

Finding the next Tom Brady (199th pick), Kirk Cousins (102nd pick) or Dak Prescott (135th pick) is no small feat, though. It's nearly impossible. The best quarterback options almost always come off the board during the opening frame. From that point, teams basically throw darts in hopes a Day 3 quarterback selection can turn into a quality backup, let alone a starter.
