The team knows exactly what it’s getting, and why.
Or at least he might not be; 2022 was the worst season of his career by a wide margin. Coming off back-to-back MVP seasons, the quarterback averaged 6.8 yards per throw and had touchdown and interception rates,in the NFL and directly between two QBs who most people would agree are now cooked: Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson .

They’d have had an even later pick if the No. 2 overall selection from 2021, ex-BYU QB Zach Wilson, had not been maybe the worst QB in the NFL over his first two years of action.
