Drafting a quarterback is one of the most important decisions an NFL franchise can make. Get it wrong, and it’ll hinder your chances of competing for a playoff spot or a Super Bowl. Get it right, and a team has the building blocks in place to create a potential dynasty, or at least a team that will be competitive for years to come.
There are many factors at play when drafting a quarterback. Not every quarterback class stacks up evenly against one another. Some classes have multiple young arms that boast plenty of potential and could quickly develop into stars. Other classes are thin, with one or maybe two players who truly look like they could develop into a premier starting quarterback.
