I have really started to enjoy the NFL draft process. Evals, All-Star Games, Combine, Pro-Days, etc...

Being a Giants fan, this is going to be an extremely fun year to bite into the draft, as the Giants have two top 10 picks and 5 picks out of the first 75 overall.

The glamour position in the NFL is the Quarterback position. While "experts" are stating there isn't a dynamic, franchise-changing, quarterback in this upcoming rookie class, it does appear to be a deep class, where 8-9 may be drafted and a handful of other interesting prospects.

Here are the Top 10 QB prospects at the moment. It will be interesting to follow their road to the draft. How they rise/fall over the next several months.


1. Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): Top-16.


2. Matt Corral (Ole Miss)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 198.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


3. Sam Howell (North Carolina)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


4. Malik Willis (Liberty)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 218.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


5. Carson Strong (Nevada)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 204.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3.


6. Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati)
Height: 6-4. Weight: 215.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3.


7. Bailey Zappe (Western Kentucky)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 3-5.


8. Brock Purdy (Iowa State)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 216.
Projected Round (2022): 4-6.


9. Aqeel Glass, QB, Alabama A&M
Height: 6-3. Weight: 228.
Projected Round (2022): 4-6.


10. Sam Hartman (Wake Forest)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 210.
Projected Round (2022): 4-6.


Others to follow....

With the arrival of the Senior Bowl and Shrine bowl, the first turns on the road to the draft are coming.

Pickett's hands are to small.....

Willis and Ridder are looking good in Senior Bowl practices. Making the throws, being coachable, confident

Kiper and McShay......Feel Matt Corral is firmly locked in at the #3 spot.

Feels like Willis' athleticism is winning scouts over.....as he seems to be the #2. Pickett holding onto #1.

The Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl are a wrap. Top QBs had the chances to show their stuff to scouts and coaches. Where do the chip lie at this point?

I think Malik Willis has pulled even in the race for QB1 with Kenny Pickett.

Matt Corral did not participant in either game and seems to be holding onto the third spot.

Sam Howell appears to get up and down review.

Carson Strong seems to be flying under the radar and holding tight at #5

Desmond Ridder seems to be a wild card. Some scouts love his athletic traits, but seems to produce erratic performances.

Bailey Zappe did not seem to impress.

1. Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): Top-16.

2. Malik Willis (Liberty)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 218.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


3. Matt Corral (Ole Miss)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 198.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


4. Sam Howell (North Carolina)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


5. Carson Strong (Nevada)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 204.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3.


6. Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati)
Height: 6-4. Weight: 215.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3.


7. Bailey Zappe (Western Kentucky)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 3-5.


8. Brock Purdy (Iowa State)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 216.
Projected Round (2022): 4-6.


9. Aqeel Glass, QB, Alabama A&M

Height: 6-3. Weight: 228.
Projected Round (2022): 4-6.


Skyler Thompson (Kansas St) and Jack Coan (ND) seem to be names to watch during the pro-day circuit

So the NFL Draft Combine has come and gone. Pro-Days are next on the horizon. How are the Quarterbacks shaking up at this point?

In my opinion, Malik Willis has taken the lead as QB1. Some reports even have Detroit as selecting Malik Willis with the #2 overall pick!!! His athleticism stands out over the other QB prospects in the draft. His arm (along with Carson Strong) was the strongest of the QBs I saw throw. Willis and Strong were throwing in the range of 58-60 yards. Pickett and Howell were in the 52-54 range.

I think the performances of Sam Howell and Desmond Ridder saw them leap frog Matt Corral (as Corral did not participate).

In my opinion., the post combine QB rankings are as follows:

1. Malik Willis (Liberty)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 218.
Projected Round (2022): 1

2. Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 1

3. Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati)
Height: 6-4. Weight: 215.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3

4. Sam Howell (North Carolina)
Height: 6-0. Weight: 220.
Projected Round (2022): 2-3


5. Matt Corral (Ole Miss)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 198.
Projected Round (2022): 1-3.


6. Carson Strong (Nevada)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 204.
Projected Round (2022): 3-4
