A year ago, we were all trying to talk ourselves into a draft class that ended up with precisely one quarterback going in the first round. This year, the QB class appears considerably deeper, though not quite as deep as the 2021 group that saw five go in the first 15 picks, or the 2020 group that had three go off the board in the first six picks. In our first mock draft of the fall, four quarterbacks make their way into Round 1: C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young and Will Levis. That could change, of course, and this feels like the year where a name or two Joe Burrow or Mac Jones their way up the board with strong performances this season. Meanwhile, six edge rushers are drafted -- including with the top pick -- in this draft, along with five cornerbacks, four wide receivers, four defensive linemen, three offensive linemen and two tight ends.
