5 quarterbacks (C.J. Stroud!) worth tanking for in next year's 2023 NFL Draft

The 2022 NFL Draft is finally over.

And while there’s a bunch of analysis to sort through soon, it’s never too early to look ahead. Yes, I’m already talking about the 2023 NFL Draft. Bear with me because one part of next spring’s draft might be especially notable.

Next year will undoubtedly feature another stellar overall class where the many bad teams can sand over their many flaws. But it’s the treasure trove of exceptional quarterbacks who stand out. I would never directly advocate for tanking for a better draft pick (wink, wink), but these guys might change my mind. They could turn an also-ran into a contender overnight.

Something had to balance out the universe after the fall the 2022 QBs endured, right?

From an Alabama star to a Florida project, let’s dive into a few of the bigger names who could comprise next year’s top-tier group of franchise-changing quarterbacks.
