14. Garrett Gilbert, St. Louis Rams
13. A.J. McCarron, Cincinnati Bengals
12. Tajh Boyd, New York Jets
11. Tom Savage, Houston Texans
10. Zach Mettenberger, Tennessee Titans
9. Jimmy Garoppolo, New England Patriots
8. Keith Wenning, Baltimore Ravens
7. Aaron Murray, Kansas City Chiefs
6. David Fales, Chicago Bears
5. Logan Thomas, Arizona Cardinals
Thomas is not necessarily the 5th best rookie quarterback, but he is in the top seven and his situation gives him a boost. There was not a more perfect quarterback/coach/scheme fit in the draft than Thomas with Bruce Arians. If one were to build an Arians style quarterback from scratch, it would be Thomas. Thomas' size, athleticism, and arm strength will allow him to thrive in Arizona. Though Carson Palmer is still the starter, he may be on his way out soon and leave Thomas at the helm. Likewise, if Palmer were to get injured, Thomas would be next in line. The big, physical receiver duo of Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd would allow Thomas to maximize his deep passing ability.
4. Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders
The Matt Schaub signing made it seem as if Oakland intends to start a veteran instead of a rookie. While that may be their intention, head coach Dennis Allen will start the most capable quarterback, and that very well may be Carr. Schaub is a washed up quarterback that has not rebounded since his injury, while Carr is a young intelligent quarterback with twice the arm talent of Schaub. Carr's footwork still needs work, but even with his mediocre footwork, Carr is more accurate than Schaub. It would not be a surprise to see Schaub start the year, but no matter what, Carr will take the starting job at some point in the season. It is uncertain as to when that will be because it will be based on how well he has digested the play book, who is tough to gauge from the outside during the off-season.
3. Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars
Whereas Oakland implied not starting a rookie quarterback, Jacksonville came out and stated that Bortles will sit the bench this year and acclimate to the professional level. There is always the possibility that Bortles comes along quickly and does not need to sit, but that is a long shot considering how safe coach Gus Bradley is trying to handle the situation. With Jaguars fans still having Blaine Gabbert fresh in their memories, the second year coach does not want to rush Bortles and recreate the Gabbert fiasco. For Bortles, that is wonderful news. More so than any of the other top four quarterbacks, Bortles needs the development before stepping onto an NFL field. Coach Bradley will be sure not to throw Bortles into the fire until he is he quarterback that he envisioned when he drafted Bortles.
2. Johnny Manziel, Cleveland Browns
"Will Manziel be the starter? Will it be Brian Hoyer? Is Manziel really not better than a career-long backup?" At this point, we simply do not know. Hoyer has been named the starter as of now, but the Browns have made it clear that the best quarterback will play, whoever that may be. Hoyer played surprisingly well last year, but the bar was set rather low and he played on a small sample size. That is not to entirely nullify what Hoyer did last season, but he is not the future of the Browns organization. Talent-wise, Manziel is far superior to Hoyer, but he will need time to get used to the pace of the NFL and digest the playbook. Once Manziel does that, he will be named the starter, but there is no way to predict when that will be. Manziel may be ready for week one, he may not be ready until week 13; we do not know. All that is known is that Manziel is a phenomenal talent that is the future of the Browns organization. 
1. Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota Vikings
After all the absurd criticism thrown his way over the course of the draft process, Bridgewater still ended up as a first round draft choice. Most of the other rookie quarterbacks appear to be locked in a fight for the starting job, but for Bridgewater, that is not the case. Of course the team has made statements about “open competition,” but no other rookie quarterback has received the praise that Bridgewater has, especially from his coaching staff. Why? Because he is making the extra efforts needed to win the job with ease. It may sound somewhat childish, but Bridgewater took it upon himself to recreate Norv Turner’s offense in the Madden video game and use it as a way to get as many “reps” as possible. Bridgewater is much closer to a starting job than any other rookie quarterback in the class and will be a legitimate Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
