He's performed better than just about all of them, though almost all of them were taken in rounds ahead of him. Though some of them haven't really played yet and, you could definitely give Drew Lock some credit for being the only QB of that class to have a winning record and how's he's performed in a more limited amount of starts. Yet Gardner continues to get doubted more than some of the other QB's on this list.

You can't make any strong judgements about any QB in the 2019 class after Week 4 of 2020.  Kyler Murray is still the best of that bunch imo.  His athleticism separates him from the rest, not his draft position.  Re-run this list at the end of this season and see where the rankings are.  Minshew will start falling.  I like him and I hope I am wrong, but you can see it regressing already these last 2 weeks against bad teams.

Murray has not looked good the last two weeks though. Yesterday he had 130 yards passing or something, with Nuke Hopkins on the field.
3 INTs the week before...

I'm not saying he sucks, or Minshew is better... I've long said of that class Murray was still the probable better QB than Minshew, but he's showing some signs of regression as well. 

But that all goes to your point about deciding on that class 4 games into year 2. Minshew has arguably performed better than most up to this point though, with less physical ability... so that should be promising yet some QBs are getting a pass while Minshew is getting trashed.
