2022--The Year We Move Up for a QB

Given the nearly universal acclaim the original post has received, I wish to remind all that this is a forum for robust discussion, within defined bounds, and that I welcome dissenting views.

If you look at the media draft books at this time, the quarterbacks are not listed high. You may see Corral and occasionally Willis or Strong in the top 10 selections. But as the draft approaches, there might be two or so quarterbacks in the draft who will move up. And my premise is based on my assumptions (1) that the Saints will conclude after the 2021 season that they do not have on the roster a quarterback who is good enough to win a championship, and (2) that there will likely be at least one quarterback who has physical assets greater than Book's and whom Sean Payton really likes.

I currently do not know a great deal about Carson Strong at Nevada or Malik Willis at Liberty. Howell at North Carolina has not had a great season. Rattler at Oklahoma does not seem to have the physical attributes that would warrant high first-round selection. I do believe that Corral will be a very high pick. He does not have great size, but he has a really good arm, mobility, and the type of athletic arrogance Aaron Rodgers has. I do believe there will be teams looking to trade up in the first round to pick Corral. To say he will have an Aaron Rodgers career would be absurd because Aaron Rodgers may be the most physically talented quarterback, and is arguably the best quarterback (he never had the talent around him that Brady or Manning in particular had) of his generation and Corral is still taking snaps in Oxford. But except for size, there are similaries between the two.
