As I was starting to stack the names for this year's pre-draft Bloom 100. I was struck by how clearly I could see the wide range of rankings post-draft based on eventual destinations. One element of this that we can't know for sure is what pick the player goes off the board at - which is an indicator in some ways - but with the exception of draft day trades and teams that double (or even triple) up on a position, we can clearly see the short and long-term situation the player will be drafted into and project which would be most and least beneficial (or even detrimental) to a player's dynasty value. Quality of supporting cast, scheme/coaching, and both short and long-term opportunity all figure in to the final ranking. all Let's start with probably the least important position for this exercise, quarterback.

| 2 | DEN | Is this Peyton's last year in Denver? Osweiler's too? |
| 3 | TB | Twin Towers at WR and immediate opportunity |
| 4 | ARI | QB-centric offense, aging starter, good WR talent |
| 5 | CHI | Is this Cutler's last gasp? Opportunity coming soon |
| 6 | NYJ | Now or never for Geno and makings of a good pass offense |
| 7 | WAS | RG3 feels like dead man walking, but dysfunctional org |

| 14 | SF | Kaepernick's contract creates opening for year-to-year instability |
| 15 | SD | I don't buy Rivers trade, but you never know |
| 16 | JAX | Bortles will get two more years in any scenario, but NFL impatient w QBs |
