Get the scoop on the top 10 quarterback prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft

There’s no more crucial position in the National Football League than the quarterback spot. There’s an incredible premium put on the position that makes getting a solid signal caller in free agency almost impossible. That’s why teams spend so much time evaluation potential quarterbacks they can select in the NFL Draft.

This year’s crop may not have one sure-fire star (let alone two, like last year’s bunch), but it’s got a number of players who will appeal to NFL scouts for very different reasons. In fact, this is one of the most divisive years ever in terms of scouts’ opinions. One scout’s treasure is another’s trash in this draft.

Of course the variety of opinions regarding all of the quarterback prospects helps to make this group one of the most interesting in recent memory. Decisions on who to take and who pass on will emanate throughout the NFL for years to come.

So if you want to cut through all the draft noise and know who the top quarterback prospects are for the 2016 NFL Draft you’ve come to the right place. Here are the 10 guys whom your favorite NFL team should be looking hard at on Draft Day.
