One of the biggest advantages an can have in 2023 is a quarterback on a rookie contract. You still need your quarterback to actually play well, of course, but a player at the league's highest-paid position making a relative pittance compared to his peers is easier to surround with high-caliber talent.With that in mind, we're going to take a look at what teams with rookie-scale quarterbacks did in the draft to help those players. We'll break things down by cla s, working from this year's picks back to the players selected in 2020. (The cla s of 2019 is headed into the final year of its rookie contract, Carlos Martinez Jersey but also already getting ready to sign its extensions, as we have already seen with . , , and potentially deals cannot be far behind.)Without further ado...Cla s of 2023: , , , The sacrificed much of their available draft capital to move up for Bryce Young in the first place, and filled out most of the infrastructure around him with free agents and previously-drafted players. That said, they did take a cue from many recent teams who had the No. 1 pick, and selected a wide receiver at the top of the second round in . At 6-2, 225 pounds, Mingo is an enormous target for Young, and with and in place there won't be much pre sure for him to be the top receiver on the team right away. Carolina also used a fourth-round pick on N.C. State's , who can provide depth on the interior and potentially develop into a starter.The sat at No. 2 and drafted Stroud, then made their big trade-up for Will Anderson. Due to the trade, they had plenty of draft capital still available, and used much of it to select two interior offensive linemen and two wideouts. is, as his name suggests, one of the strongest players in the draft, and he should slide in as this team's starting center right away. Teams often like to pair their young quarterbacks with veteran centers, so it'll be interesting to see how the Texans fare with two rookies at those positions. Tank Dell was one of the most productive receivers in the country last year, and despite his size (5-8, 165 pounds), is a fantastic playmaker all over the field. With him, sixth-round pick , and 2022 second-rounder joining and free-agent signings and , Houston has plenty of perimeter pa s-catching options available for Stroud. The most important thing the did for Anthony Richardson was hire Shane Steichen, who has worked with both Justin Herbert (who has a similar size profile to Richardson) and Jalen Hurts (who has a similar skill set and athleticism) and helped take each of them to new heights. They also focused on drafting high-level athletes all over the field. Each of slot receiver , tackle , running back , and tight end registered a Relative Athletic Score of 9.0 or better with their performance at the Scouting Combine, and fit the mold for what Mark McGwire Jersey should be a faster-paced, open-space offense with Richardson at the helm.Will Levis lasted into the second round and will likely have the luxury of sitting behind for at least part of the 2023 season, and that's probably to his benefit due to the lack of playmakers the currently have on their roster. Beyond , , and , the cupboard is pretty bare. And the offensive line was in rough shape, too, which made the selection of in the first round nece sary in the first place. Third-round running back is talented but reports have already indicated that he is mi sing part of his knee cartilage, which could limit his impact and durability.Cla s of 2022: , , The put one of the league's worst offensive lines in front of Kenny Pickett for much of last season, and thankfully made a few upgrades up front both in free agency () Giovanny Gallegos Jersey and the draft. Pittsburgh moved up three spots in the first round to land ma sive tackle , selected the best blocking tight end in the draft in (there was some thought that he could add weight and become a tackle, Jason Peters-style), and picked up some center depth in . With a solid pa s-catching corps already in place, it made sense to focus on the trenches. The eschewed taking a quarterback in the draft and instead picked a running back and two guards. They're going to trot out all the usual explanations about how is not just a running back, and how running the ball will protect the quarterback, and everything else. But this was a team that already ran the ball extremely effectively last year, with fifth-round pick as the lead ball-carrier. Going with a back in Round 1 meant pa sing up a chance for a higher-impact player. looks like a tackle-to-guard conversion coming into the NFL like and were. The track record of those moves is pretty good, and the Falcons should be able to get some quality play out of him on the inside.Washington is strangely committed to Howell, and seems strangely fine with its offensive personnel despite having added only and in free agency. The Commies used a Day 2 pick on center and a fourth-round selection on tackle , then added Chris Rodriguez to their backfield that already consists of Brian Robinson and . There's probably not much in the way of impact talent here.Cla s of 2021: , The , , The had one of the most succe sful offseasons in terms of helping their quarterback, and Bob Gibson Jersey spent a significant portion of their draft capital trying to do it again. After losing in free agency and likely seeing suspended, they traded down twice in the first round and still picked up . With him, Robinson, and , they should be able to find two quality starters. Not resting on the laurels of first good season basically ever, the Jags added at tight end. doesn't nece sarily have a "bell-cow running back" body, so Jacksonville added to help carry the load. And sixth-rounder has a chance to develop behind (acquired for this year's sixth-round pick and a fourth-rounder next year), , and . San Francisco barely had any picks thanks to the trade-up for , the trade for , and several other roster moves, and added a pair of tight ends in and , plus a wide receiver in . There's really no telling which of them Kyle Shanahan will find a way to make into a big-time playmaker and which he'll decide he's done with sooner rather than later. That's just kind of how it goes with him.Chicago's best move to help Justin Fields was the trade down from No. 1 to No. 9, which landed and a ton of additional draft capital. The trade of their second-round pick for was le s succe sful, but he's at least still a talented player with a chance to contribute more in his second season with the team. Moving down one spot and selecting gives the a plug-and-play right tackle, solidifying that side of the line alongside free-agent signing . Fourth-round picks and should at least play rotational roles at receiver and running back, respectively, and Johnson in particular has a chance to become a three-down back.The did their typical Patriots Dakota Hudson Jersey thing, loading up on interior linemen (, , Antonio Mafi) before taking shots on a couple of late-round wide receivers ( and ). Given their track record, it seems reasonably to expect one or two of the linemen to become contributors and the receivers to flame out, but who knows.
