Last year, in this space, we presented a bleak picture of the 2022 quarterback class. And even that assessment landed short of what wound up happening. I said at least a couple would get picked in the first round, because that is how it always goes. Then, it didn’t go that way at all—only Pitt’s Kenny Pickett went in the first 32 picks, and he wound up being the only quarterback taken in the first 70.
A year later, things aren’t that bad for teams that punted last year and waited for this year.
But the 2023 class isn’t exactly perfect. It has potential, to be sure. It also has potholes.
