Bagent is expected to sign with the Bears as an undrafted free agent, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports.

Bagent played 15 games in his senior year at Shepherd, completing 69.9 percent of his passes for 4,580 yards, 41 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Bagent had a 43-10 record as the starter for Shepherd, including back-to-back 13-win seasons in his final two seasons. He has a steeper learning curve than Division I quarterbacks when it comes to NFL-level defensive speed, but his mindset and physical profile should help him adjust to the stiffer competition.

Cunningham is expected to sign with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Cunningham played 10 games for Louisville last season, completing 62.4 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 565 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 114 carries. His 120 total touchdowns over five seasons with Louisville broke the school record previously owned by Lamar Jackson. While undersized and inconsistent with his throwing mechanics, he is an instinctive athlete with natural running ability that will help him compete at the NFL level.

Morgan is slated to sign with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Morgan played nine games with Minnesota last season, completing 62.2 percent of his passes for 1,382 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Morgan has shown improvement each season with his pocket movement and ball placement but has struggled with his pre-snap reads. The Steelers will give him a look because of his competitiveness and year-to-year improvement.

The Chargers selected Duggan in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 239th overall.

Duggan (6-foot-2, 207 pounds) was a good collegiate quarterback at TCU, but in the NFL there is extensive reason to believe he just doesn't have what it takes as a passer to see the field at quarterback. Duggan does have standout athleticism to work with, however, and could leverage his rushing ability enough to get by as needed in a backup role. The Chargers might even want to give him a look at receiver after Duggan ran a 4.52-second 40 at the combine.

The Eagles selected McKee in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, 188th overall.

McKee is a tall (6-foot-6), lanky signal-caller who lacks maneuverability in the pocket, essentially the exact opposite of star QB Jalen Hurts. The Eagles have always prioritized value at the QB position as opposed to scheme fits, so it's clear McKee's NFL arm enticed general manager Howie Roseman, but it's unlikely the Stanford product will push Marcus Mariota for the team's backup role.

The Vikings selected Hall in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 164th overall.

Hall's an undersized signal caller (6-foot, 206 pounds), but he was a capable two-year starter at BYU with a 51:11 TD:INT ratio and nearly 700 rushing yards in 22 starts. In a draft full of older quarterback prospects, Hall turned 25 back in March, so it's tough to assume the passer will have enough runway at the NFL level to contend for a top spot. However, Hall may push Nick Mullens for the Vikings' No. 2 QB slot behind Kirk Cousins.

The Packers selected Clifford in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 149th overall.

Clifford started 46 games at Penn State and kept Will Levis -- a second-round selection in the 2023 draft -- on the bench before Levis ultimately transferred to Kentucky. He is fearless in the pocket and has decent mobility, but he lacks arm strength, a factor that will likely limit him to a backup role throughout his NFL career. In the short term, he'll battle with Danny Etling for the second quarterback job in Green Bay.

The Browns selected Thompson-Robinson in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 140th overall.

A five-year starter at UCLA, Thompson-Robinson had plenty of experience running an NFL-style offense with Chip Kelly at the helm. The 23-year-old set career highs in passing touchdowns (27), rushing touchdowns (12) and rushing yards (646) in his final season at UCLA, but the growth as a playmaker was offset by a rise in turnovers. Thompson-Robinson makes for an intriguing backup behind Deshaun Watson, though he'll have to battle Joshua Dobbs and Kellen Mond for slotting on the depth chart.

The Cardinals selected Tune in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 139th overall.

Tune (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) isn't the most natural passer but he steadily improved each year at Houston and by the end of his career there he was one of the most formidable quarterbacks in the country, throwing for 40 touchdowns and running for five more in 2022. Tune has a prototypical frame for a starter and boasts plus athleticism at the very least after running a 4.64-second 40 and logging explosive jumps (37.5-inch vertical, 122-inch broad jump) at the combine. If Tune can keep building his passing skills then he could have a surprisingly good shot at emerging as a starter in the distant future.

The Raiders selected O'Connell in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 135th overall.

O'Connell (6-foot-3, 213 pounds) never showed obvious starting upside at Purdue but he's well time-tested after more or less serving as a four-year starter for the Boilermakers. O'Connell did a pretty good job of moving the ball, producing 9,219 yards while completing 66.7 percent of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt, but the touchdown rate (5.3 percent) and interception rate (2.4 percent) were respectively too low and too high for a soon-to-be 25-year-old quarterback project as more than a backup in the NFL.
