NFL: Selecting michagan as the Top 10 teams of the year with a title already declared because of…
The NFL Draft is more than three months away, but with NFL coaches being fired and hired, many teams are already looking towards the future, which for many teams means a future starting quarterback. Last year was not the strongest QB class with many of college football’s top ten quarterbacks returning to their schools for 2023.
This year, many of those quarterbacks are now entering the NFL Draft, meaning this class could be loaded with picks. In a year where more quarterback injuries happened than normal in the NFL, having a good year of QB draft picks may be just what the league needs.
Of all the quarterbacks in this draft, Joe Milton III has the most traditional quarterback build. Standing at 6’5″ Milton has the size and speed to be an effective quarterback. His play must improve if he hopes to ever see the field in an NFL game, but all of the intangibles are there, enough for him to get picked up by a team.
Jordan Travis just feels like a solid backup. He’s really decent in a lot of areas but lacks excellence. He is short for an NFL QB, but that has been less of an issue in the past decade or so. The resason he will stick with a team is because of his dependability. In the last two seasons, Travis threw for 44 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.
Love Michigan or hate them, you can’t deny that McCarthy has the “IT” factor to him. He does things in a very different way than anyone else. Whether it is the way he reads the game, mediates, studies, or talks to reporters, McCarthy has got things figured out. The biggest concern with McCarthy is his ceiling. At Michigan, he has a fantastic run and blocking game. Without that, one has to wonder how well he’d operate.
Regardless, he’d be an excellent addition to any quarterback room.
There was a time when Spencer Rattler was the face of the Big 12 and a Heisman Trophy front-runner. Today, Rattler is a solid but definitely under-the-radar quarterback who played well at South Carolina but failed to really elevate the program to where fans hoped and thought the team would be.
Still, Rattler threw for 3,186 yards this past season. Size is a concern, and he is considered a bit slower (4.78 40-yard) than many of the quarterbacks on this list. Rattler shouldn’t have an issue getting picked up, but he feels like a depth quarterback, rather than someone who will push to play anytime soon.
