Welcome to the exciting world of NFL general management! Your quest? Find a franchise quarterback and lead your team to victory. But hey, since we’re in fantasyland making you a GM already, why not go all out? Take your pick from any quarterback who joined the league in the past five years and get ready to make some tough choices.
Here are our top picks, based on both performance and potential. Get ready to make the call!
1. Joe Burrow (Originally selected Round 1, Pick 1, 2020): The best quarterback of the past five years, with a Super Bowl appearance under his belt. Watch out for injuries though, but when he’s on the field, he’s unstoppable.
2. Brock Purdy (Round 7, Pick 262, 2022): From “Mr. Irrelevant” to “Mr. Franchise,” this 49ers player has become an MVP candidate and an inspiration to journeyman QBs everywhere.
3. Jalen Hurts (Round 2, Pick 53, 2020): He may have regressed a bit, but he remains one of the league’s key dual-threat quarterbacks.
4. Tua Tagovailoa (Round 1, Pick 5, 2020): Unpredictable, but Mike McDaniel seems to have unlocked something in Tagovailoa, making him worth considering.
5. Trevor Lawrence (Round 1, Pick 1, 2021): Tough, rally-able, but inconsistent. Is it him or the Jaguars franchise as a whole?
6. Justin Herbert (Round 1, Pick 6, 2020): Flashes of excellence, dragged down by his team’s performance. Will a new coaching staff change his luck?
7. C.J. Stroud (Round 1, Pick 2, 2023): Shows potential to be elite-level talent for years to come, but it’s still early days.
8. Kyler Murray (Round 1, Pick 1, 2019): Concerns about size and durability, but his ability to perplex and torment a defense is undeniable.
9. Anthony Richardson (Round 1, Pick 4, 2023): Full of potential and promise, if he can stay healthy and keep developing.
10. Justin Fields (Round 1, Pick 11, 2021): Talented, speedy, but question marks about his ceiling.
11. Bryce Young (Round 1, Pick 1,…)
