| QB1 | C.J. Stroud | QB |  Ohio State | 6'3" | 214 | 10" | -- | -- | -- | 99 | 57 | 4 | 92.5 | Looks like a prototypical pocket passer, but adds enough athleticism to be dangerous on the move as well. Greatest strength is his accuracy to all levels of the field. Arm strength is a notch below elite, but good enough to make every throw and he throws with great touch on the deep ball. In a clean pocket, he processes the field at a high level and is capable of throwing his receivers open. Navigates traffic when throwing to the middle of the field extremely well 一 a sure sign of a QB whos seeing the field well and making decisions with confidence. When the pocket breaks down is where he occasionally has issues. He’s risk-averse in his decision making under pressure, so he avoids costly turnovers, but he’ll need to get more confident in making decisions and taking chances in a dirty pocket to play at a high level in the NFL. Designed runs were not a part of the Ohio State game plan, but he’s athletic enough to develop those skills. QB prospects at his level in terms of accuracy and decision making have a high floor and are rarely busts, barring unforeseen issues in work ethic or injuries. |
| QB2 | Bryce Young | QB |  Alabama | 5'10" | 204 | 9.75" | -- | -- | -- | 88 | 62 | 4.5 | 86.0 | Diminutive prospect who makes up for his limitations with his processing ability. Sees the field as well as any prospect in recent years. Arm strength is adequate, but does hold him back on certain types of throws. He seems to know his arm well 一 doesn’t force the ball into windows when he doesn’t have the arm for it. So while he’ll pass over some throws due to his arm, he isn’t making mistakes because of it. Accuracy and touch are strong on short and intermediate throws, but inconsistent downfield. Maintains accuracy on the move. Has a good feel for the pocket and can find throwing windows for himself as it collapses. Occasionally holds the ball too long, and will need to speed things up to help cover up for his lack of size and arm. Game is not build around his mobility, but he can definitely hurt a defense with his legs. |
| QB3 | Will Levis | QB |  Kentucky | 6'4" | 229 | 10.625" | -- | -- | 34" | 85 | 44 | 2.5 | 77.3 | Prototypical size with impressive athleticism for his build. Physical player who will sometimes seek out contact on the run, though it borders on reckless. Spent three years as a backup at Penn State, before starting for two seasons at Kentucky. Played under two NFL OCs at Kentucky (Liam Coen, Rich Scangarello), though both offenses were simplified for Kentucky’s limited talent. Top-tier arm strength 一 definitely can make every throw that will be asked of him. Lack of accuracy and touch have the potential to be a fatal flaw. Struggles to consistently harness the arm talent and delivery on-target throws at all levels of the field. Processing and decision-making are questionable, and that’s a significant red flag given his experience. Stands in the pocket and takes sacks at a concerning rate 一 needs to speed up the rate at which he processes pressure. Has tunnel vision on his receivers and will throw directly into defenders he should be seeing. Expect Levis to struggle early in his career, but he’s developed enough that he probably needs to be thrown into the fire so that he can work through his issues processing and making decisions against NFL speed. Issues with accuracy may not be fixable, so he must turn his decision-making ability into a strength to succeed. |
| QB4 | Anthony Richardson | QB |  Florida | 6'4" | 244 | 10.5" | 4.43 | -- | 40.5" | 92 | 25 | 0 | 75.3 | Special prospect in terms of raw tools 一 arm strength and athleticism both fall into an elite category, and he has prototypical NFL size as well. Entering draft after redshirt-sophomore year with only one year as a starter. Severely unprepared for the NFL in terms of his ability to read the field and make decisions. Locks on to his receivers, and does not see the defense 一 numerous examples of him “looking” at defenders, but still throwing directly through them. He is not yet at the point where can truly process what he’s seeing. This could improve with experience, or he could simply lack the ability to process at the required NFL speed. Accuracy is scattershot and holds back the offense. Misses open receivers, and even catchable balls are regularly off target, limiting YAC potential. Despite the ability to run, he does try to keep eyes downfield when avoiding pressure 一 he’s not purely tucking the ball to run. Athleticism could allow him to survive if he’s forced to play early in his career. However, his legs could also become a crutch which hinders further development. Should be treated as a developmental prospect who needs at least one full year on the bench, and then will need an offense tailored to his skill set. If you force him to play too early, or force him into an offense not designed for his skills and limitations, he will struggle to survive in this league. |
| QB5 | Hendon Hooker | QB |  Tennessee | 6'3" | 217 | 10.5" | -- | -- | -- | 76 | 38 | 1.5 | 68.0 | Spent two years as the starter under Josh Huepel at Tennessee, after spending three years at Virginia Tech. Played in an overly simplistic offense (an offshoot of the Art Briles Baylor offense) which does not put much on the QB’s shoulders in terms of decision making. Rarely takes traditional dropbacks, and has not been required to process the defense from the pocket. Learning an NFL offense will be a significant change and will require time to sit and learn. Arm strength is a notch below elite but he’s capable of making every throw. Accuracy is ordinary 一 he throws a nice deep ball, but he’s more scattershot on the short and intermediate levels where he sometimes struggles with touch. Suffered torn ACL in November and his availability for 2023 is uncertain. Will be a 25-year-old rookie. Should be drafted with the expectation that he doesn’t play in 2023 due to injury, and 2024 will be a development year as he adjusted to his new offense. By 2025, when he’s theoretically hitting his stride, he’ll already be 27. That timeline sets a low ceiling. |
| QB6 | Clayton Tune | QB |  Houston | 6'2" | 220 | 9.375" | 4.64 | 6.89 | 37.5" | 70 | 38 | 2.5 | 64.5 | Four-year starter. Aggressive downfield passer with a strong arm. Accuracy at all levels of the field. Maintains accuracy and arm strength throwing off-platform. High interception numbers raise a red flag (30 over last three seasons) but it’s worth noting his extreme pass volume is a factor in those raw numbers. In general, Tune keeps the ball out of harms way, but he’s willing to take risks and gets burned sometimes. Has a tendency to stare down his receivers, which is concerning given his experience. Enough athleticism to buy time and can be a threat on the move when given a running lane. Will be a 24-year-old rookie. Arm and athleticism clearly meet NFL standards, so he should be considered a potential starter. |
| QB7 | Dorian Thompson-Robinson | QB |  UCLA | 6'1" | 203 | 9.875" | 4.56 | 7.28 | 32.5" | 72 | 30 | 2 | 63.5 | Four-year starter in Chip Kelly’s system. Wins with athleticism and a strong arm. He’s a legit threat on the move, though is slightly undersized and you won’t want him taking too many hits. Arm strength isn’t quite at the top tier, but plenty strong enough to make every throw and he maintains arm strength on the move. Accuracy is acceptable at the short and intermediate levels but gets more scattershot downfield. Handles pressure fairly well 一 makes some ill-advised throws still, but has learned to use his athleticism to avoid sacks. He’s best suited for an offense with similar aspects to Kelly’s, focusing on the quick, short passing game and taking advantage of his athleticism. Should be viewed as a developmental project, who could be a great backup to another mobile quarterback. |
| QB8 | Aidan O'Connell | QB |  Purdue | 6'3" | 213 | 9.75" | -- | -- | -- | 66 | 40 | 2.5 | 62.0 | Pure pocket passer who mastered Jeff Brohm’s offense at Purdue. Wins with accuracy at all levels. Good feel for the pocket and handling pressure 一 knows when to get rid of the ball and keeps sacks to a minimum despite limited mobility. Does a nice job processing the defense. Comfortable navigating traffic while throwing to the middle of the field. Modest arm strength puts a limit on the type of throws he can attempt. If a Brock Purdy-like passer emerges from Day 3 in this class, O’Connell would be a strong candidate. Will fit best in an offense featuring the short-quick passing game. |
| QB9 | Tanner McKee | QB |  Stanford | 6'5 | 231 | 9.375" | -- | 7.22 | 33" | 67 | 35 | 1.5 | 60.5 | A throwback quarterback. Taller pocket passer who played in an odd mix of offenses at Stanford 一 traditionally David Shaw runs a very conservative pro-style offense but has incorporated the slow-mesh (popularized by Dave Clawson at Wake Forest), which is a scheme that hasn’t really make its way to the NFL. Drops his eyes versus pressure and takes far too many sacks. Also needs to get the ball out quicker, which may require adjustments to his throwing motion. Accuracy is better than average, but he looks more comfortable throwing downfield 一 touch on short/intermediate throws can be inconsistent. Arm strength is probably good enough to make all the throws, but its not a plus-trait. Decent mobility considering his size, but you won’t design your offense around his legs. Should be viewed as a developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter if he develops more poise under pressure, but he lacks the traits to set a high ceiling. |
| QB10 | Jaren Hall | QB |  BYU | 6'0" | 207 | 9.5" | 4.64 | 7.06 | -- | 64 | 30 | 4 | 59.5 | Good athlete who can throw on the move. 25 career starts and his experience shows. Confident decision-maker and capable of quickly processing under presser. Solid accuracy to all levels of the field and throws with nice touch. Arm strength is a limiting factor 一 you could work your offense around it, but he cannot make all the throws you’d hope to see. To make up for deficiencies with his arm, you’ll need to lean into his athleticism and likely make RPOs a focal point of the offense. Lacks ideal size and his durability has already been a problem 一 missed time with concussions, a hip injury which cost him a full season, rib injury and ankle injury. He’ll be a 25-year-old rookie. Given the size, injury history and age, there are significant risks. |
| QB11 | Jake Haener | QB |  Fresno State | 6'0" | 207 | 9.375" | -- | 7.01 | 35" | 58 | 42 | 3.5 | 57.5 | Highly intelligent, accurate passer who projects as a quality backup at the next level. Lacks ideal size and there could be durability concerns if he were to see significant action. Arm strength is a significant limiting factor 一 needs to play in an offense heavily focused on short, quick passes. Throwing motion needs work. He has an elongated release, which is more concerning given his limited arm strength 一 he must get the ball out more quickly to compensate for the lack of zip on his passes. Keeps the ball out of harms way 一 he seems to know his limitations and won’t force it into windows he can’t hit. Needs to speed up his processing in a collapsing pocket; takes too many sacks. It’s easy to envision Haener having a valuable role as a backup given his accuracy and intelligence 一 you could throw him into the fire and trust his decision making, but he does not have the physical tools you want to build around. |
| QB12 | Tommy DeVito | QB |  Illinois | 6'1" | 206 | 9.75" | 4.60 | -- | 33" | 58 | 38 | 2.5 | 55.5 | Pocket passer who wins with accuracy and decision making. Especially effective delivering accurate passes on short and intermediate throws. Tools translate perfectly to a “game manager” role in the NFL, which could make him an appealing backup. Can be too conservative under pressure 一 doesn’t attempt many risky throws, but also takes too many sacks. Has a quick release, and would fit well in an offense built around short,quick passing game. Arm strength holds him back from having a ceiling at a higher tier. Spent five years at Syracuse before closing his career at Illinois in 2022. Will be a 25-year-old rookie. |
| QB13 | Stetson Bennett | QB |  Georgia | 5'11" | 192 | 10" | 4.67 | -- | 33.5" | 58 | 30 | 4.5 | 55.5 | Undersized pocket passer. The embodiment of the phrase “game manager.” Lacks any win-with traits, but has developed into a near-flawless decision maker. A very savvy passer, who can manipulate the defense with his eyes. Accuracy is ordinary, and gets more scattershot downfield. Good all-around athlete 一 can buy time with his legs and will occasionally take off. Reminds me of Craig Krenzel (2002 Ohio State national champ QB). Like Krenzel, Bennett appears to lack NFL traits, but they’re as smart as any quarterback out there (Krenzel was drafted and started a few games for Bears). |
| QB14 | Max Duggan | QB |  TCU | 6'1" | 207 | 9.875" | 4.52 | 7.26 | 30.5" | 58 | 30 | 2 | 53.0 | Four-year starter who elevated his game in 2022 Sonny Dykes’ air raid offense. Wins with an aggressive approach and above-average mobility. If he sees the field, the read-option must be a part of the scheme 一 he’s not an elite athlete, but he’s fast enough and a physical runner. Accuracy is a limiting factor and it’s never improved throughout his career. He struggles to consistently deliver on-target throws at all levels of the field. Probably lacks the tools to start in the NFL, but his mobility is intriguing and he’s worth giving a shot 一 perhaps with improved mechanics you can fix his accuracy issues and he’ll become a quality backup. |
| QB15 | Tyson Bagent | QB |  Shepherd | 6'3" | 213 | 9.5" | 4.79 | 6.95 | 36" | 62 | 25 | 0 | 52.8 | Prolific D-II passer who has enough NFL traits to take a chance on him. Solid Senior Bowl performance proved he belongs in the draft conversation. Looks very calm and poised in the pocket with a clear command of his offense. Not at threat with his legs, but has plenty of mobility to keep plays alive. Displays nice touch on short/intermediate throws and has enough arm to get the ball downfield. Throwing motion is erratic 一 almost looks too relaxed at times, and drops his elbow. Tends to get tunnel vision on his receiver and doesn’t see the defense. Should be viewed as a developmental prospect, likely needing multiple years to adjust to the speed of the NFL. |
