Kenny Pickett Pitt (Solid Starter Level) Year One Starter Level Malik Willis Liberty (Developmental) 1-2 yrs development Desmond Ridder UC (Developmental) 1-3 Years development Matt Corral Ole Miss (Developmental) 1-3 Years Development Sam Howell UNC (Developmental) 1-3 Years Development Carson Strong NEV (High-Level Backup) Bailey Zappe WKU (High-Level Backup) Positional Ranking by Ceiling Grade The ceiling grade projects the highest level of potential we believe a prospect can reach once they have developed their skills at the NFL level. If a player enters the NFL with a developmental grade (1-3 years development) with a ceiling of projected high-end starter, we believe that the prospect has the potential to reach their projected ceiling if in the right situation within 1-3 years. The projected time frame might vary based on a player's final grade and film review.
