2017 QB Projection Rankings 21-25
25. Teddy Bridgewater (Minnesota Vikings)
Teddy Bridgewater did not play a single game during the 2016 NFL Regular Season due to an injury to his knee. He's probably not going to start at the beginning of the season either for the Vikings. The fact that a trade might happen with him going to the Miami Dolphins means he might not be in Minnesota for much longer. We don't know if Teddy Bridgewater can be the Teddy Bridgewater we all knew in 2015 that lead his team to the playoffs. That's why he is projected to be ranked 25th going into this season.
24. Ryan Tannehill (Miami Dolphins)
It is actually a disaster that Ryan Tannehill may need season ending surgery on his knee. If he does find a way to come back late in the season he might not be the same. He might not be able to run the way he used to run whenever he comes back. If Ryan did not get injured late last season the Dolphins might have had a chance to beat the Steelers in the AFC Wild Card last season. But Ryan not being able to come back early is the reason why he is projected to be ranked 24th going into this season.
23. Kirk Cousins (Washington Redskins)
When Kirk Cousins was throwing footballs to DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon he was able to throw a lot of long balls because both of those wide receivers could run really fast down the field and catch the football real nice. Now that DeSean and Pierre are both out of Washington the long ball threats for Washington are no longer there. Even though Terrelle Pryor Sr. signed with Washington this offseason their is still not enough depth for Washington in it's wide receiver department. Hopefully Redskins Tight End Jordan Reed can get better before the regular season starts because if he doesn't Kirk is not going to find many wide receivers and even tight ends open during the season. That's why he is projected to be ranked 23rd going into this season.
22. Trevor Siemian (Denver Broncos)
Trevor Siemian has the capability to throw for 4,000 yards this season with a full year of experience under his belt as a starter last season. He still has Emmanuel Sanders and Demariyus Thomas to throw the ball to so that helps for Siemian. The Broncos also added Jamaal Charles during the offseason so now he can play along side CJ Anderson to make the Broncos very strong on the running back position. But the Broncos defense is still strong which makes Trevor feel confident that his defense can support him. Trevor is no dobut still learning but we all know that the Broncos have found their QB. That's why he is projected to be ranked 22nd going into this season.
21. DeShaun Watson (Houston Texans)
Going into the 2017 NFL season I have DeShaun Watson projected to be ranked 21st but out of all the projection rankings I have done on these NFL quarterbacks this might be the only projection that I could've put in the top 15. We haven't seen DeShaun play an NFL game so it would be unfair to rank him so high. The Houston Texans have a strong defense so if DeShaun cannot put up a lot of points his defense can back him up with JJ Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, Kareem Jackson and Johnathan Joseph. But DeShaun has a lot of weapons with Will Fuller, Braxton Miller and DeAndre Hopkins. DeShaun and DeAndre have never played with each other when they were both in Clemson but maybe their relationship will be so strong because they both went to Clemson. DeShaun has a chance to lead his Texans to an AFC South title again.
