Behind The Steel Curtain

Ah, yes! The NFL Draft is just four months away, and the draft order is beginning to take shape. We are just two weeks away from the first 18 picks being solidified, which will have a huge impact on the outlook of how high the quarterbacks will begin falling off the board. With that in mind, it is time to officially kick off draft season here at BTSC with my first mock draft of the 2023 cycle! Everyone has their own thoughts on this year’s quarterback class, but expect at least three to be chosen inside the top ten selections, as quarterbacks are typically pushed up draft boards due to need and positional value. I, for one, have concerns about this quarterback class at the top, but I do believe all the top quarterbacks who could be selected in Round 1 have the tools to lead an NFL franchise if developed properly. The consensus first-round prospects at quarterback — Bryce Young, Will Levis, CJ Stroud, and Anthony Richardson — all possess outstanding upside and will likely hear their names called relatively early.
