Who are the quarterbacks who’ll matter in the 2022 NFL Draft, and what’s the college perspective on all of the top prospects?

It’s going to be one of the weirdest and most interesting drafts ever for quarterbacks for two reasons.
1) Now teams just go and get their quarterback through free agency. Tampa Bay needed a quarterback, got Tom Brady, won a Super Bowl. The LA Rams needed a better quarterback, got Matthew Stafford, won a Super Bowl.
Teams that needed quarterbacks are finding proven talents – on vastly different levels – and aren’t going to bend over backwards this year to get one through the draft, especially because …
2) This draft class of quarterbacks isn’t totally awful, but it’s not good.
As always, someone will rise up out of the blue and become a thing once he hits the league, but the best quarterbacks in this draft would have been no better than sixth in the 2021 NFL Draft.
I’d argue it would be even worse than that – I have a thing for Davis Mills and think he’ll be great once he gets talent around him – with Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Justin Fields all far better prospects than anyone in this class.
Even worse, the talent level falls off the map almost immediately. As is the top guys are hardly sure things, but it gets ugly in a hurry.
