Could Dillon Gabriel Be a Day 1 Pick in the NFL Draft?

Could Dillon Gabriel Be a Day 1 Pick in the NFL Draft? The reason I ask this question is because when you look at the top of the NFL Draft, there is no surefire #1 QB in this draft class. Everyone has their opinions, and unfortunately, we aren’t inside the meetings of these NFL front offices, so your guess could be as good as anyone else’s.

Some love Sheduer Sanders, some don’t. Jalen Milroe and Carson Beck have had ups and downs throughout their college careers, Darts continued to grow and Cam Wards quickly became my QB1 if you look at my latest two-round mock draft I dropped earlier in the week. So?

Could Dillon Gabriel Be a Day 1 Pick in the NFL Draft?

The story of the 2025 Oregon Ducks started with a big move to the Big Ten but then they flourished, with a recent marquee win against Ohio State, the skies are the limit for the Ducks! Oregon’s a top-rated team based on PFF grades, and AP polls, and anywhere people rank teams give out grades. They’ve accomplished this with a strong defense and an offense that balances the run and pass very well. Statistically speaking, none of their offensive weapons are in the top five of their respective positions but they put all the pieces together to sit as the #1 team in the country and undefeated up to this point. 

At the center of this sits Dillon Gabriel, the 6’0” 200 lb. transfer from Oklahoma who also played at UCF. He’s been highly productive over his six seasons in college, and when he plays at least 10 games, he puts up over 3,000 yards. He does an excellent job distributing the ball and has a high football IQ that NFL teams will love in this draft process.
