The all-important quarterback position is always the main focus, even in classes with only a couple or a few signal-callers who could be first-round picks—like this year.

In the absence of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart drew the most positive attention among the quarterbacks. While Jalen Milroe had a rough week up until Thursday, the Ole Miss product quickly rebounded after a shaky first day at practice.

B/R scout Dame Parson noted Dart’s improvement after his first day.

“He made multiple good decisions, hitting his first reads in the progression and fitting passes into tighter windows between two defenders,” Parson wrote.

“Dart was visibly more confident in what he was asked to do and threw the ball with more certainty. Day-by-day improvement is a massive positive for Ole Miss’ all-time passer.”

In certain situations, Dart showed touch on his throws over defenders and placed the ball in advantageous spots for his pass-catchers.

While some would argue that Dart didn’t have much competition to become the top quarterback on the American Team, he’s elevated his stock and stirred up discussion about his draft outlook.

The Ringer’s Todd McShay believes the gap between Sanders and Dart is closer than the public thinks it is in team evaluations. He expects the former Rebels quarterback to move up the ranks.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler talked to a scout who thinks Dart has done enough to see a move up draft boards in an underwhelming quarterback class.

“I could see him getting pushed up in the draft, maybe not in the first round but close,” the scout said. “He shouldn’t be a first-rounder, but it’s a weak class and that’s how these things go sometimes.”
