Final QB Rankings For The 2023 NFL Draft | NFL Stock Exchange 

As a recent Purdue grad, your guys' analysis for Aidan O'Connell was spot on, lol. He was so fun to watch and route for, he makes some special throws and even shows some shiftiness in the pocket. He'll then follow up one of the best throws you've ever seen with the worst individual quarterback play you've ever seen in your life. I could see him having a Brock Purdy-esque run at some point, where he goes to the right system and can show off his incredible anticipation and throws, or he could bounce around the league because no one really fully trusts him to be a stable backup. Bryce Young is the clear #1 QB and I'm glad you guys still have him there. He's got Burrow's acumen with Mahomes' playmaking, at Drew Brees' size. Whatever that looks like in the NFL, he's going to be special. If there's a QB outside of Young I'd want to bet on in this class, it's Anthony Richardson. My CJ Stroud comp is actually Matt Stafford, I think they play the position similarly and Stroud's outlook in the NFL is Stafford. Great arm talent that can take the top off any defense, great rhythm thrower, struggles under pressure, but can go on a hot run of play (aka the Michigan and Georgia games) and win you a Super Bowl. Richardson, on the other hand, is a guy who seems on the cusp of putting it altogether. Elite traits and, like you said, an underrated ability to read the field and play traditional QB. Josh Allen at Wyoming is the best college comp, but I think Jalen Hurts is the hope for his NFL career. You're hoping that you can build an offense around his rushing threat while he develops as a passer. And as good as Hurts is, Richardson has the tools to be even better. I'm out on Will Levis. He reminds me way too much of guys like Mitchell Trubisky and Carson Wentz. He doesn't create big plays, his ball placement on throws is questionable, and while he's got a good ceiling, I don't think it's as high as he gets credit for. I'd take Hendon Hooker over Levis, I think Hooker has good tools and while he has struggled, I think his issues are more easily correctable.

STROUD being 21 is encouraging! When Burrow was 22 he had a pedestrian season. Turned 23 and became a star. I believe Stroud under Frank Reich will develop into a Pro Bowl QB

Please keep doing these position rankings. Ever since I heard the way too early running back episode I’ve been absolutely addicted. As a draft enthusiast, it’s a great secondary research tool and I love the breakdown on guys that I can turn around and do further research on. No one else does anything close to this at this level of quality. Mock drafts are fun but you guys have something special with this, keep on it!

I like how you guys analyze players.

Love the move from the mock draft series to this leading up to draft day. Gonna be great

Connor and Trevor are the best. I hope you guys are planning on bringing on teams beat reporters like last year to predict their 1st round pick. Really enjoyed the process being talked out.

Hooker will be 27 years old before he is your starting QB.....the knee injury is a real terrible thing. As an NFL team I dont think you can draft such an old QB where 1 contract and hes already 33 or so. Thats really going to turn off teams. THAT BEING SAID, I can totally see him being a day 2 guy where the risk isnt such a huge concern and the money isnt so high.

I’d love to hear a deep dive on Clayton Tune. Felt like he showed great coachability with his improvement over the last 3/4 years. He has enough arm strength and accuracy to throw the deep ball as well as fit the tight windows, plus he poses solid dual threat ability with his size and 4.6 speed. His decision making is what I think faults him as he can hold the ball for too long, force throws that aren’t there, and at times tries to do too much scrambling (sometimes this leads to a fumble, sometimes he pulls a rabbit out of the hat and gets the first down). Interested to hear y’all’s thoughts, especially on his ceiling as a mid-late round pick after a few years of development with pro coaching.

The description of Will Levis reminds me a lot of Matthew Stafford's tenure in Detroit

Grabbin a beer and a bag of popcorn for this

Goddamn it you finally did it… as a Seahawks fan you’ve sold me on Richardson. I’d still prefer Will Anderson but I’d now be a happy camper with AR

I always love the content but wish this was like the WR class where it was something like a top 8 only because the big four are talked about so much. Always appreciate the content, though!

What’s this? A video not being posted in the middle of the night? What a welcome surprise!

Awesome. Y’all haven’t changed too much

You guys have plans for day of draft coverage?

Oh boy. There couldn't be better timing for this video. Just got home from work, and now I can chill listening to football analysis.

The Rey Mysterio comp made me think of Big Show slamming him off the side of the ring when he was strapped into the stretcher LMAO

Want to hear thoughts on Tyson Bagent. Have not really heard anyone break down plus and minus stuff of his game.

Been hearing people wanting Clayton Tune. Dudes pretty under the radar right now but he put up good production and has decent measurables. Highlights looked pretty good too. Saw a lot of pretty looking throws

huh, i actually really liked what stroud did under pressure vs Notre Dame, I'll have to check out that game again

Been following Connor since his bleacher report days. But on NFLSE there’s little to no disagreement on prospects or the order of their rankings.

Trevor has to do the fan Friday intro on Monday

Hooker is the same age as lamar and burrow. Reminds me of Brandon weeden

Needed Tyson Bagnet in here over stetson bennet

It ain't The Beast But dammit it'll do boys🏈 Thank you 🖒🖒🖒

I was watching the tape on Richardson and came away impressed. Although he’s a dynamic athlete you saw he would go through his reads so he’s not some one read Qb. His completion percentage is slightly skewed due to poor wr play and inconsistent mechanics. Give him some time and he’ll be something special

Clayton Tune & Max Duggan are cool af; would love to hear what you think on them. P.S. Thoughts on “Mobile Mason Rudolph” for O’Connell?

Great to see as a Panthers fan, hearing this I'll be happy as long as we don't take Levis lol

Am i the only one that noticed FLORDIA?! 😂😂

Levis is nearly 24 and played at 2 schools and he’s basically Mitch Trubisky 2.0 coming out of college

Final prospect rankings are here that means the NFL draft is within a month lets go baby! Christmas in April!!

Tyson Bagent. Let’s hear what you think on this under the radar QB.

You cant comprehend a 192 pound qb coming off the board in the first 5 rounds with Bennett? We all know damn well that Bryce weight was 100% fabrication and he probably plays in the 180s, low 190s MAX

Tim DeMorat has a helluva arm. I hope he gets on a team. I couldn't find too much tape on him, but the level of competition is of course an issue. I'd liked to hear y'alls thoughts

the negatives with hook sound like the negatives with Jalen Hurts

taking every pro day into consideration now, my takeaway's are Bryce lived up to the hype, Bryce was Bryce, he will always be Bryce, i think that makes him a floor prospect, though crazy high floor, like his peaks are top 5 top 10 as a floor when he's on. CJ is peaking at the right time, and, he's just scratching the surface of what he could be and how good he is, but he's Been the hottest prospect in this draft class. Will Levis is right there with both of them, his lows are lower, his highs are higher. At the end of the day though, if i'm the panthers.. i'm sorry lol idk how to pass on AR, if i say he can run over you like Cam Newton, he can make you miss like Lamar Jackson, He can break tackles and extend like D-wat, and he has Josh Allen level arm strength but also probably more arm talent than Josh Allen. ik he's only had 13 starts, but idk how to pass this up. smh he literally has everything you dream of and you just need to teach and coach him and i'm the panthers and have hired a staff of former NFL QB's specifically do THAT with a roster that can win now where He's gotta get more accurate sure, but i don't need to make him throw it 30+ times a game, i can let him manage the game with RPO's and play action, and ask my defense to keep us in games as i baby feed him this system. You gotta take the chance.

Dorian Thompson to the EAGLES 7th RD for a great Jalen Backup

There isn’t a quarterback in the nation that would’ve succeeded with Kentucky’s offensive situation this season. Not a single one.

Don’t sleep on Clayton Tune

anyone remember old man weeden taken in the first round by of course the derpy browns? he was a disaster lol

So, from everything you described, is Stroud's expectation Alex Smith?

Guys, first off, I hope you feel the love, because you and the comments section made my reply a highlighted one last week and I’m very appreciative of that, so thank you very much for the pods this week. I have a question this time, but it really needs time to answer it. In 2021, the 49ers traded three 1st round picks and a 3rd to the Dolphins for 3rd overall, and to take Trey Lance. My question is would they have been better off waiting, and this obviously doesn’t account for whatever happens with Brock Purdy, and trading up this year to draft Anthony Richardson? I’m really intrigued to hear what you and the public would think about if Anthony Richardson was to become an SF 49er. Cheers everyone! Also shoutout the producers as always!

Lions are looking for a backup in the draft. I kind of like the idea of Aiden O'Connell in that role, just need a guy who can give us a chance to win games if Goff goes down.

Maybe it’s hyperbolic, but Bryce young legit reminds me of a smaller Andrew luck.

Dang did trevor leave pff?

You guys ranked both Stroud and Young in tier 1, but seemed firm that Young was better. I was curious if either of you felt like the gap was big enough that if the betting odds are correct and the Panthers take Stroud, that it would be an objective mistake, or at least a talent misevaluation. Are they close enough that there is at least an argument for stylistic preference? As someone rooting for the Panthers to succeed, almost all draft coverage I see prefers Young, but everyone seems to agree they’re taking Stroud, and it kind of worries me, especially given the prohibitive cost for that opportunity.

my biggest critique of everyones eval of hendon hooker is that everyone is willing to use tenn's offense to discredit his good performance , but they dont also talk about how the offense made him look bad at times, especially whenever he was pressured

Richardson is in “Tier B”. He’s got to be evaluated through a different set of lenses because he’s such a project that could UNBELIEVABLE, but he just doesn’t compare to other prospects.

Young to the texans let's go

I'm hoping the Vikings trade back from 23, get Hooker in the 2nd, then a WR like Mingo.

“I just can’t wrap my head around a 192 pound quarterback coming off the board within the first five rounds” Yet you have Bryce as QB1. 😂😂😂

I guess all your qb rankings before even looking. The consensus boys

Will rogers

After watching Malik Cunningham play at Louisville his whole career, as a fan, I just can’t see him as a NFL QB. He has good athleticism, but I just felt he had no idea what he was looking at when it came to the passing game, even in an offense that really tried to hide his passing defencies in a very run heavy offense. I’m not even sure if he was a one read and run guy, I think he is closer to a zero read and run guy. He provided some awesome moments but just isn’t an NFL QB

Clayton Tune is the best QB in this draft. Screen shot for posterity. I see Young and Stroud similar to the year Vick and Brees came out, and I see them having similar careers. Young’s game doesn’t translate to the NFL, and he will have an inconsistent career with some good seasons (Vick). Stroud is the accurate QB who doesn’t wow you, but comes to the NFL and just gets it done consistently and is just a winner (Brees) Clayton Tune has everything and the right mentality to continue to get better. If he gets the right landing spot, he will be a top 10 QB. Those who know, know. 😅😂

Tyson bagent qb Shepard. Pops is world champ arm wrestler

Good Sirs: What happened to Malik Willis did the hype get him or what?

comments be sure to like the video

Anthony Richardson and Will Levis are not 1st round QBs...Malik Willis had better passing numbers and similar rushing numbers to Richardson...NFL media seem to love pushing certain players even when the evidence goes completely against their take

Richardson is interesting but can't throw with anticipation. Would take him over Young. Could be a top 5 player in NFL, sure. Levis can't play with pressure, 3rd rounder. Stroud is the best but doesn't have a high ceiling. You're hoping he can be Joe Burrow/Tom Brady but he just isn't going to be that good a processor. You're getting a Derek Carr level player you'll eventually give up on.

CLAYTON TUNE

If I am rating these qbs as nfl prospects Bryce is not number 1. he is great at everything except the one thing that he can not control. How ever size really really matters. Not only does he have the disadvantage of being short for a qb. He is also very slender for an nfl player. People act like it does not matter because the qb is protected in todays game. It matters and it matters a ton. Especially at the qb position. Bryce will not escape hit even half as often in the nfl as he did in college. And then he seems to have an aversion to stepping up in the pocket. That makes it even more likely he will get hurt. In the 90's he may have made it 2 seasons as a starter. In todays game he might make it 5. Now lets get to something that isn't talked about with Bryce. In the nfl you have to be able to make a lot of throws either off of your back foot or stand in there and take a big time shot. Bryce does not have the arm to make a lot of the 10y+ down field throws off of his back foot. so he will be taking a lot of shots. Ask Tua, Manziel, Baker all smaller guys who got hammered a lot. Ask guys like Lamar, Fields, Cam, Allen, Dak, Murry, and Wilson. All guys who are a lot thicker guys who still got injured on hits. Now if I am ranking Qb skills. Sure Bryce is number 1. I would never take a qb that high who you have to worry so much about getting hurt. all the qbing skills in the world does no good when you get injured on a blind side crushing hit by oh say Garrett. And can we all quit acting like Bryce is 204? anyone with a brain knows why he didn't throw at the combine and then refused to be weighed at his pro day when he did throw.

I’m like the CJ Stroud of the bedroom. I’ve been really struggling to perform under pressure but last time I finally busted through!

You can watch these vids and just see what will happen 😂 will levis will be the great one, he'll go to a major market like the patriots cause they can't stink for too long. Bringing up under pressure #s as if playing for bama instead of kentucky doesn't dictate that. Analyzing college players is impossible and it's comedy to watch.

Bryce Young is a future superstar.

I really like Jaren Hall relative to consensus. He's my 5 and to me he's like if you bought Kyler Murray from Walmart, it's not gonna be as good but it's still Kyler Murray

Why is Stetson Bennett knocked for his size when he is basically the same size as QB1? I know Young is better but if you are willing to rationalize his size concerns away then you should do the same for Bennett.

I'm a Panthers fan. I want Young but Stroud is just fine with me. Hopefully they don't go crazy and take Richardson. Young is the truth! Stroud will be a beast. Just stay in those two please

Bryce Young is such a piss poor NFL prospect. Guy runs like a 4.8, isn't that quick, is 5'10 and produced well in a fine tuned offense with an A supporting cast. Really nice accuracy. Isn't a fast processor. He is not Russell wilson, he is not Kyler Murray. Nowhere near that escapability and throw on the run ability. Poor deep ball for a 1st rounder. I have no idea what this guy has over Teddy Bridgewater other than 'Alabama'

There is nothing special about Bryce Young. A lot of good - not much special.

Talk about MAX Duggan Malik Cunningham Stetson bennett please 🙏 Evaluate them

Love you guys so much, but sooo tired of QB content

Not sure what makes AR better than Levis. Buddy played 1 good game then was dog water all year. Levis played with piss poor receivers and awful line play. If you put levis in that ohio state offense he’s definitely better than stroud who couldn’t beat Michigan once..

Sorry but Stetson is the most clutch over the last 2 years. Highly underrated AGAIN. Still would take Young 1, but don't forget what Stetson has done over the last 2 years.

Stetson Bennett not only will be drafted, you will have to explain how you missed that much on a prospect. 👎🏻

Listen parrots and mediocre scouts, if he is given a proper chance you will see Max Duggan turn out to be the best QB in this draft. Mark it down chumps.

> considers the top 3 in a similar tier Good grief, I hope Ballard makes the trade from #3 to #4 so the Colts can have any of these incredible top 3 prospects. Don't cheap out Ballard: you will get jumped on draft day.
