3. Lance

4. Wilson

5. Mond

6. Jones

7. Mills

8. Trask

9. Book

10. Buechele

JT is pretty thorough when you're looking at just film study.  He's very open about the fact he hasn't actually talked to any of the prospects and bases his opinion purely on the film.  He'd probably make a pretty darn good QB coach if he wanted to go that route.

For a comparison, last years ranking:

 

1) Tua

2) Burrow

3) Jake Fromm

4) Jordan Love

5) Nate Stanley (Iowa)

6) Anthony Gordon (Wash. St.)

7) Jalen Hurts

8. Justin Herbert

9) Jacob Eason

10) Steven Montez (Colorado)

 

Maybe not the best guy to go to for rankings.  Excellent film breakdown though, very educational.

His rankings are strictly off of film. Nothing else. He doesn’t talk to scouts or the kids to get a feel for how successful he thinks they will be in the pros. He’s ranking them on the bits of film he watches which is typically not every game each year. 
 

There is no go-to guy for ranking how prospects will turn out in the pros.

Oh yea, absolutely agree.  He even gives like 10 minutes of disclaimer saying how it's just off film.  That's the problem with rankings, they're easy to take out of context.  I'm sure his Herbert film breakdown talked a lot about potential and consistency but that's not taken into a single top 10 ranking.  But rankings are easy to criticize and debate.   

I'm a pretty big fan of QB school and All Things QB.  They both have some good content on Darnold also

Yeah his content is outstanding. As he said in the video he only watches 4-5 games of film on any given prospect and he shares that footage with YouTube. I would consider his rankings more definitive if he reviewed all their tape but that’s not the goal of his channel.

I'd actually take his word on a QB before Mel Kiper . . . so there's that.
