The offseason has been a whirlwind for quarterbacks, and the latest four-round mock draft reveals that the quarterback carousel shows no signs of slowing down. In a groundbreaking move, all four picks in the first round are projected to be signal-callers, marking the first time in the 89-year history of the Annual Player Selection Meeting.
The mock draft also predicts that five of the top twelve picks will be quarterbacks, with a total of six quarterbacks selected within the top 33 picks. This hasn't been seen since the renowned 1983 draft, which saw six quarterbacks go in the first 27 slots, including legendary Hall of Famers such as John Elway, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino.
To keep up with the ever-shifting tide of the event, the mock draft incorporates six trades, with five occurring in the first round and one at the start of the second round. These trades simulate the dynamic nature of the draft as teams jostle and maneuver to secure their desired prospects.
The offseason quarterback moves have been dizzying, with notable names like Kirk Cousins making the move from Minnesota to Atlanta, and Justin Fields being traded from Chicago to Pittsburgh for a seemingly small return. Not to be forgotten are the relocations of Russell Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, Sam Darnold, Mac Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Kenny Pickett, among various others.
It's clear that the quarterback position is in high demand this offseason, with teams showing a strong desire to secure their franchise quarterbacks for the future. The mock draft indicates that this trend will continue, with the first four picks highlighting the urgent need for talented signal-callers.
As the Annual Player Selection Meeting approaches, football fans eagerly await the actual draft to see if these projections hold true and witness history being made. This offseason's quarterback carousel has been relentless, and the mock draft suggests that it's far from over. It's undoubtedly an exciting time for NFL enthusiasts, as they anticipate the next chapter in the ever-evolving world of professional football.
