Patriots, Bears and Jaguars Let Their Young QBs Down in the 2022 NFL Draft

While most NFL teams made the best of the 2022 draft, a few upstart quarterbacks should have gripes about how the selection process played out last week.

Typically, clubs use premium picks to load up on pass-catchers and offensive linemen as investments in young signal-callers' development.

This year, wide receivers have become a high-value commodity with big names such as Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown going to new teams and signing massive deals. As a result, general managers should've taken the cue to aggressively target the position in the first round for the benefit of the fifth-year options, or they should've acquired prospects who are ready to contribute before they command pay raises after three seasons.
