NFL Draft 2017: Ranking the top 10 quarterbacks
By Jordan Luth
The 2017 NFL draft will have a good talent of pool of quarterbacks for teams to possibly find their franchise piece.
In past NFL drafts, 31 times a quarterback has been the number one overall pick. Since 2001, there have been 12 quarterbacks taken with the number one overall pick. This year could go down that same path. The Cleveland Browns currently own the number one pick, and Cleveland taking a quarterback could be a possibility.
When it seems that a quarterback could be taken number one overall, there tends to be two that are above the rest. In recent history this has been the case with: Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, as well as Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. One was taken first and the other was taken second overall.
This could be the case again this year with Mitch Trubisky and Deshaun Watson. While they probably won’t go one and two back to back, there is a possibility that one of them could be taken as the number one overall pick.
The quarterback pool in this year’s NFL draft is somewhat deep. There is a lot of should be NFL ready talent at the top and a lot quarterbacks that with some help could turn into a good pick way down the road.
Only time will tell if these quarterbacks will make it as an NFL player, with that being said, here is a look at the top 10 quarterback prospects of the 2017 NFL draft.
