Ranking top 5 draft QBs, are any the heir to Cowboys' Dak Prescott?

The top five quarterbacks are unlikely to be linked to the Dallas Cowboys, and for good reason, as they have a franchise quarterback in his prime. They are attempting to develop a young g QB with good traits, signing Sam Howell to play if they need a steady hand for a game or two. Typically, quarterbacks have 3 or more Round 1 picks on a top five prospects list ,, but not in this class.

Is there an outside chance Dallas goes for a Day 3 quarterback if one of these QBs fall? It’s possible, but unlikely, with how many holes they have on the team . This doesn’t mean the position isn’t important to know.

It’s the most important piece for every team. The Washington Commanders went to the NFC Championship game in Jayden Daniels's rookie season. The top QB in this class is going to the Las Vegas Raiders with the first overall pick.

Still, the next four are completely unknown. Do teams want a traits-heavy quarterback they need to teach the position, or an undersized option with the anticipation to make all the plays? Those are the questions that will decide the order of the top five quarterbacks in the 2026 draft class.
