- Malik Willis (Titans) Pick: Third round, 86th overall | College: Liberty. Plenty had Willis pegged as a top-10 pick going into the draft, which tells you exactly the kind of upside Tennessee is getting.
- Kenny Pickett (Steelers) Pick: First round, 20th overall | College: Pittsburgh. He gets dinged for being the "safest" option of a comparatively weak QB class, but the fit is tremendous.
- Sam Howell (Commanders) Pick: Fifth round, 144th overall | College: North Carolina. Good on Washington for grabbing some Carson Wentz insurance, and even better on them for halting Howell's slide.
- Desmond Ridder (Falcons) Pick: Third round, 74th overall | College: Cincinnati. They needed someone to push Marcus Mariota, their proclaimed post-Matt Ryan placeholder.
Jan 6, 2023 · QUARTERBACK RANKINGS 2022 NFL DRAFT. For a few years prior to the 2021 draft, it was always expected that Trevor Lawrence would be the number 1 pick in the QB class. This year’s class is very different with no slam dunk best prospect, although there are five prospects who could be taken in the first round. The tentative presumptive top ...

Willis is a new mashup of Wilson and Lance, a fast riser from the start who's gotten more attention for an amazing skill set. He has top-flight athleticism and the strong arm to make every throw. He's also physically and mentally tough. Willis is a small-school product in final name only, as he began his college career at Auburn. He had an impressi...
Pickett delivered with his leadership to get Pitt playing for the ACC championship. He's the top traditional pocket-passing prospect in the class with his deep ball-accuracy, smarts and maturity. But he also carries great confidence and moxie and also proved at the Combine he has foot speed and quickness when needed. If Willis the top ceiling prosp...
Ridder is an aspiring dynamic NFL dual threat with his combination of strong arm and natural running ability. He also has the welcome intangibles, including leadership skills and toughness. Ridder won't vie for top QB off the board with Willis and Pickett, but his playing experience puts him at a not-too distant third. He would be a great value any...
Corral is a dynamic athlete and confident runner who also shows aggressiveness with a big arm. His raw skills give him a lot of intrigue and upside. There are concerns, however, about his one-year flash and how he will respond from the ankle injury he suffered in the bowl game. He is more of a work in progress at this point in a smaller frame in re...
Strong has some Josh Allen qualities to him with ideal size and a massive arm, only with more underrated athleticism. After battling some knee injury issues, Strong's challenge has been proving to teams he has a viable mobile element and can carry the accuracy needed should he be more of a pro-style pure pocket type. Strong needs some time to be mo...
Howell is a smart, seasoned and accurate pocket passer. Playing in the same conference, however, he didn't show the same team-carrying "it" factor Pickett did last season. He also doesn't have the dynamic athleticism of Ridder and Willis but it wouldn't be surprising if he became a mashup of Lawrence and Jones. Given also his undersized frame, he h...
Zappe has had a prolific first season bumping up to FBS with great accuracy, smarts and toughness in a "Air Raid" style high-volume passing game. He can't quite sling it and move like any of the guys above, but he's cerebral and can be a quick study to adapt to any style of offense. He could turn into another Gardner Minshew type with a third- or f...
Coan has the solid backup makeup with his traditional pocket passing, first at Wisconsin before moving on to Notre Dame. He can handle making all the throws and also has some good mental and physical toughness for his size. He is smart enough to lean on his supporting cast and the running game to get the most out of his game. He also should be take...
There's not much else to see in this class in terms of value after Coan. Thompson has some good short-to-intermediate passing qualities, but the concerns are the lack of his big-play arm, consistency and durability. Thompson can go anywhere from fifth round to priority free agent.
Crum's biggest asset is experience as an efficient passer but although efficient throwing intermediate throws, he may lack the dynamic arm strength and downfield aggressiveness to be more than a developmental backup. He also has the range of late-round pick to free agent.
