Barring a legitimately stunning turn of events, it’s widely expected that quarterbacks will be selected with each of the first three picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. If the Falcons decide to extend that streak, it will mark the first time in NFL history that four quarterbacks have been drafted with the first four picks in the draft.
While this class is being touted as very strong for the quarterback position, there are some fans who are wary of selecting the fourth player at the position, which they believe means the fourth-best option. Draft order isn’t an indicator of future success or failure, but perhaps those fans are right to be concerned.
