NFL: Where are the Rookie QBs landing?

 NFL:  Where are the Rookie QBs landing?

Eight teams were considered Quarterback needy going into the 2022 Draft (Falcons, Lions, Panthers, Saints, Seahawks, Steelers, Texans, Commanders).  Many mock drafts had three going in the first round.  This was not the case with teams waiting on Quarterbacks to drop to them.  Only the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a QB in round one.  Also, only one trade has happen so far, and that was for the Panthers to move up to get Matt Correl.  The Titans, who were not considered Quarterback needy, drafted one of the best prospects of the Quarterback draft class.

Quarterbacks:

Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh (Rnd 1, Pick 20, Pittsburgh Steelers)
Pickett delivered with his leadership to get Pitt playing for the ACC championship. He's the top traditional pocket-passing prospect in the class with his deep ball-accuracy, smarts and maturity.

Malik Willis, Liberty (Rnd 3, Pick 22, Tennessee Titans)
Willis is a new mashup of Zach Wilson and Trey Lance, a fast riser who's gotten more attention for an amazing skill set. He has top-flight athleticism and the strong arm to make every throw. He's also physically and mentally tough.

Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati (Rnd 3, Pick 10, Atlanta Falcons)
Ridder is an aspiring dynamic NFL dual threat with his combination of strong arm and natural running ability. He also has the welcome intangibles, including leadership skills and toughness.

Matt Corral, Ole Miss (Rnd 3, Pick 30, Carolina Panthers)
Corral is a dynamic athlete and confident runner who also shows aggressiveness with a big arm. His raw skills give him a lot of intrigue and upside.

Note: Carolina picked Corral with the No. 94 overall selection, which they got from the Patriots in exchange for the 137th overall pick (fourth round) and a 2023 third-round selection.

Still Available:

 
Carson Strong, Nevada
Strong has some Josh Allen qualities to him with ideal size and a massive arm, only with more underrated athleticism.

Sam Howell, North Carolina
Howell is a smart, seasoned and accurate pocket passer. He doesn't have the dynamic athleticism of Ridder and Willis but it wouldn't be surprising if he became a mashup of Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones.
