swede700 Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Quote With so many quarterbacks potentially slated to go in Round 1, it’s worth asking how the 2023 QB class compares to the classes of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Many of those classes featured some of today’s best quarterbacks, including Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and others. The results were extremely optimistic for the top end of the 2023 class. Though no 2023 quarterbacks can claim that they were the best QB to come into the NFL over the last six years, two took top-end spots, with Stroud ranking fourth and Young ranking fifth. Richardson landed in the middle of the pack, while Levis was a few spots below him, near the bottom. Hooker ranked second-to-last among the list of quarterbacks, and a few poll respondents suggested he would have ranked below Desmond Ridder and Malik Willis, who were not included. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-does-the-2023-quarterback-draft-class-stack-up-comparing-the-2018-2021-qb-classes-to-2023/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The "idea" of Anthony Richardson is intriguing to me. The price of Anthony Richardson is not. If he falls into the late teens range (or to #23), I'd be fine with the Vikings pulling the trigger. His ceiling is too hard to pass up at that point and you don't have to mortgage the future with the cost of a trade-up. Moving all the way to #2 or #3 is out of the question for me. He's just too raw to trade three first round picks, plus. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be disappointed if they do, but it's a pretty big risk. One that might pay huge dividends, admittedly..... Or really set them back.

I'm not sure when the last "significant" risk they took was...Tarvaris? I wouldn't consider Ponder a risk since they took him earlier than he should have gone and they didn't trade up for him. They traded up to get Tarvaris and took him probably at least 2 rounds earlier than he should have been taken (although even most projections suggested that it was 5 rds earlier). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rudy Gobert has shown us...be careful what you wish for. Although I was glad that the Wolves' front office took a chance. It's just been a terrible result.

I won’t a QB that is accurate and control the game. I want nothing to do with a QB having “ UPSIDE “… No, either you have it or not. I don’t care about a 40 time or a back flip. Would be the biggest mistake in the franchise’s history to trade up and take Richardson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for FO going for it when they really believe in what they are doing! If they think Richardson is a future star, they should trade up for him. I have really cut back on CFB watching, so anything I say here about a player is a gut mostly....and I really like Richardson! I just am not confident enough after watching highlights and reading about him that I'd give up 3 firsts plus...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
