On the opposite end, former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is the biggest faller in this year's list, dropping a whopping 12 places. Cousins joined the Falcons last offseason and was benched in the first season of his four-year contract. Both Cousins and Darnold are listed as Tier 3 quarterbacks.

For the Vikings and the highest-drafted quarterback in franchise history, they're on the wrong side of this simple pass-fail test. Coach Kevin O'Connell has announced that quarterback J.J. McCarthy will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.
