If you’re a fan ofThe Bachelor, odds are you are already thinking about who the next leading man should be.
WARNING: The following contains major spoilers.
AfterBachelorettestar Becca Kufrin gave her final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen on Monday’s finale, the time has come to assess and decide who should lead the next “most dramatic season ever.”
Although the new Bachelorette is usually announced at theAfter the Roseceremony, ABC is waiting to reveal who they’ve crowned as the nextBachelor— perhaps so they don’t spoilBachelor in Paradise.
Here are our top three picks — and a fan-favorite wildcard suitor!

1. Blake Horstmann
The runner-up from Denver, Colorado, not only captured Kufrin’s heart for the entire season, but also America’s. His goofy spirit and passionate personality are just a few traits that would make him the perfectBachelor.
2. Jason Tartick
The Buffalo, New York, native was a lead contestant throughout the season before beingsent home during the Fantasy Suite date. Not only didRyan Seacrest profess his love for the 29-year-old, butBachelorettefans seem to love hisold school charm, too.
The banker even says he’d be open to accepting the starring role: “Coming intoThe Bachelorette, I always led with a calculated mind and not an open heart,” hetold PEOPLE. “Now, I’m able to start leading with my heart and not my head. And I’m in the best position to find who I’m looking for now.”

3. Colton Underwood
Although the former professional football star was acontroversial contestant(he was previously linked to Kufrin’s friend and formerBachelorrunner-upTia Booth), there’s no denying women would fall for theChris Prattlookalike, who has also dated Olympic gymnastAly Raisman.
While Underwood will make an appearance onBachelor in Paradise,where he is reunited with Booth, we’re keeping our fingers crossed it’s not the last we’ll see of him.

Wildcard: Joe Amabile
Even though the grocery store owner — known as ‘Joe the Grocer‘ — from Chicago was sent home on night one, he’s grown to become more popular than most guys who made it to the final 10. He even has his ownfan apparel line.
His undeniably adorable smile and the twinkle in his eye is exactly what America wants (and needs). Although he is also going toParadise,we’re sure his popularity will just continue to grow.
