Who is the QB1 of the 2027 Class?

Devy / By /

Tier 3 QBs
Jayden Maiava (QB – USC) 

I think that Jayden Maiava is mostly just a product of Lincoln Riley’s quarterback-friendly offense and lacks any real NFL traits. He struggles under pressure, turns the ball over far too much, and lacks creativity when a play breaks down. I won’t deny that he has the size and production profile to be on this list, but he’s not someone I’m targeting in devy formats. 

Drake Lindsey (QB – Minnesota)

I see why Lindsey is getting so much hype in devy circles. He’s a pro-style quarterback with excellent size and elite arm talent, can push the ball down the field with relative ease, and impressed as a processor in his first year as a starter. All that considered, he’s still a projections-based bet, and as a redshirt sophomore, I imagine he’ll spend two more years in college. 

Trinidad Chambliss (QB – Ole Miss)

Chambliss really impressed in his first year at the D1 level, throwing for nearly 4,000 yards with only three interceptions. He can play off-platform, has above-average arm talent, and the rushing upside to be genuinely excited about from a fantasy perspective. My biggest concern is that he fought so hard for a sixth year of college eligibility when the 2025 quarterback class was so weak. Because of that, I question the true NFL ceiling.

Devy Rankings Q&A – Quarterbacks

All Access, Devy / By /

We have officially made it to the point in the year where dynasty, devy, and C2C drafts are in full swing. Jim (@jim_DFF) and I (@Evan_Kerr_) have been hard at work adjusting and tinkering with our devy rankings to make them a near-perfect product for all to utilize. Grinding film and digging into analytics has helped us to painstakingly rank over 300 players on their ability to make the jump to the next level.

The process has made us question ourselves in a number of ways, and even now that the rankings are updated, we find ourselves questioning where different players landed on the big board.

In this four-article series, we’ve decided to peel back the proverbial curtain and reveal some of what goes on within the mind of a devy ranker. Isolating one position for each article, we were each asked a series of four questions that forced us to decide which players we think are too high, which players we think are too low, a player that we just can’t seem to quit, and a deep sleeper we think more people need to be talking about.
