Early Thoughts: After last year's QB class, this is going to look like the QB class to end all QB classes.  While Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins both had appealing qualities in favor of both of them, they both pale in comparison to the top two guys who should be Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert.  There were real discussions that had Justin Herbert declared last year that he'd be the #1 overall pick, but instead he returned to Oregon for his senior year.  He received mix reviews for that decision, and I will never fault a player for a player returning to college or even declaring early.  That being said, from a pure football perspective I believe he might regret if we don't see a big bounce back year from him.  He needs to revert back to his sophomore year production but on a bigger scale, otherwise Tua Tagovailoa is going to run away with the top QB slot.  Herbert's junior year was a bit of a mixed bag, but the talent is there.  As for Tua Tagovailoa, what hasn't been said about him?  He's been a stud since he entered the starting lineup.  He's the early favorite for the #1 overall pick at this point.  Behind those two, you have have Jake Fromm who is the early favorite to be the 3rd QB off the board but could easily be in the mix for #1 overall as well.  Then you get into a mix of other guys who have some upside in Jordan Love, KJ Costello, and Jacob Eason who might be better served returning for a senior year in a less stacked QB class.  Of the rest of the seniors, Steven Montez out of Colorado is one of the guys I'm really intrigued by.  The tools are there, but I want to see the jump of going from a good QB to a great QB.

My early QB thoughts, and watch list.  Any guys I'm missing?
