The Oregon Ducks know what they're doing with quarterbacks.
The latest example was this season with Dante Moore, who looks set to be a top-tier NFL Draft pick after a brilliant fall in Eugene.
But assuming Moore does indeed leave, Oregon will need a new quarterback.
Pretty much any QB in the country would love to play for the Ducks. They're a consistently exciting offense that produces pro passers.
That allows Oregon to be selective and get the guy that really fits the best.
The Athletic's Manny Navarro made a prediction for this outcome this week, and he has named Drew Mestemaker as the guy he thinks will be the Ducks' next quarterback.
"The Ducks are likely to lose Dante Moore to the NFL Draft," Moore writes. "Mestemaker’s upside is hard to ignore, and Oregon could probably swipe him away from new Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris, who helped make him a star at North Texas."

Mestemaker came pretty much out of nowhere this season to lead the American Conference in pretty much every passing category.
He completed 70.2% of his passes for 4,129 yards and 31 touchdowns. Mestemaker also ran for five scores.
Mestemaker may have a sour taste in his mouth from the conference title game, when he threw three interceptions. But that could just motivate him to take a big step and prove himself at the highest level possible.
