There weren’t too many surprises in the top four picks of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/What-team-has-the-most-picks-in-the-2023-NFL-Draft-20230412-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 NFL Draft</a>. The only shocking move was all the draft capital the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Houston-Texans-lose-draft-pick-for-a-salary-cap-violation-related-to-Deshaun-Watson-20230310-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Texans</a> gave up to jump from 12 to 3 to take <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Will-Anderson-Jr.s-profile-Age-height-weight-college-stats-and-social-media-20230418-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will Anderson Jr.</a> But the quarterback went as expected based on their potential.
The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/How-much-money-will-Bryce-Young-make-on-his-rookie-contract-with-the-Panthers-20230427-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> took <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Bryce-Youngs-profile-Age-height-weight-college-stats-and-social-media-20230301-0056.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bryce Young</a> with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-2023-How-manyfirst-overall-picks-do-the-Alabama-Crimson-Tide-have-20230427-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first overall pick</a>. Then the Texans drafted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/C.J.-Strouds-profile-Age-height-weight-full-name-parents-and-social-media-20230426-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C.J. Stroud</a> despite the reports of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-C.J.-Stroud-downplays-having-the-lowest-grade-for-a-QB-on-the-cognitive-test-20230426-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his low results in a cognition test</a>. That meant the Indianapolis Colts had the consensus third best signal-caller at the fourth spot. 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-17"> </div>
</div>

Indianapolis didn’t overthink and took <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Anthony-Richardsons-profile-Age-height-weight-40-time-college-stats-combine-and-social-media-20230427-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Richardson</a>. The former Florida Gator has a high ceiling as well as a low floor because he doesn’t have a ton of experience. He seemed to be their clear future, although Colts’ owner Jim Irsay posted a confusing message regarding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Will-Levis-profile-Age-height-weight-college-stats-and-social-media-20230425-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will Levis</a> as a possibility for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Watch-2023-NFL-Draft-Rounds-2-and-3-online-free-in-the-US-TV-Channel-and-Live-Streaming-20230427-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rounds 2 or 3</a>.
<h2>Jim Irsay’s cryptic tweet about Will Levis</h2>
The Colts have been switching starting quarterbacks every season for a couple of years now since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/The-25-greatest-No.-1-picks-in-NFL-Draft-history-20230425-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Luck</a> retired. Their approach of taking aging veterans clearly didn’t work. Philip Rivers, Jacoby Brissett, and Carson Wentz had very inconsistent results. In 2022 they traded for Matt Ryan, but that went terribly wrong.
Richardson appears as a project that needs time to develop. Patience along with confidence will be key for him reaching the projection that scouts have, although the owner didn’t help in that regard. Irsay posted a strange tweet about the opportunity to draft Levis as well to have a situation like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-49ers-legend-Joe-Montana-shares-funny-description-of-Patrick-Mahomes-20230212-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Montana</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Top-50-greatest-quarterbacks-in-NFL-history-20200522-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Young</a> had with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Nick-Bosa-warned-the-Cardinals-about-taking-Kyler-Murray-according-to-former-GM-20230422-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>.
“Colts Fans…would you take Will Levis at #2 if you’re on the board for Colts in 4 hours from now??? … and go Montana – Young for Franchise??”, Irsay wrote on his official Twitter account. Indianapolis were lucky to have a Hall of Fame quarterback like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Peyton-Manning-dedicates-epic-and-heartfelt-message-to-Patrick-Mahomes-20230414-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peyton Manning</a> playing for them. Comparing these two young players to two other greats didn’t look like the most mature approach for being the owner.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> shocked the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> world last season. Going with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Pete-Carroll-gets-emotional-when-talking-about-Geno-Smith-20230310-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Geno Smith</a> seemed like a huge gamble, and not many people thought they could make the playoffs without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Wilson.</a>
Smith had a remarkable season and was even an MVP candidate at some point, and the team paid him back with a very lucrative contract extension in the offseason. He also became a fan favorite.
Nonetheless, the word around the league is that he might not be the guy in Seattle for long, as the Seahawks could be leaning towards taking Florida QB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-2023-Potential-landing-spots-for-Anthony-Richardson-20230330-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Richardson</a> with the fifth-overall pick.
<h2>NFL Rumors: Seahawks Could Draft Anthony Richardson</h2>
(Via Mike Florio – Pro Football Talk)
“It would be a surprise, to say the least. But some believe the Seahawks will take Richardson at No. 5, if he’s there.
The three-year, $105 million contract signed by quarterback Geno Smith gives the Seahawks significant flexibility. Given its structure, they could escape the deal after one year and $28 million. And so a player like Richardson could sit on the bench for a year (or two) and learn the game before playing.
It seems odd on the surface that the Seahawks would do it. Only last year, they escaped a situation in which the quarterback had become too much of a focal point for the team. Why create a situation in which excessive attention will be devoted to the quarterback position, once the fifth overall pick is devoted to a quarterback?
Still, the talk is out there. And the Seahawks have made no qualms about the possibility of take a quarterback with that selection.”

The Seahawks seem quite satisfied with Smith, but this has always been a ruthless business, so we shouldn’t jump to conclusions or believe for a second they won’t look to get better at any chance they have.

It’s not a secret that all teams need to have a good option <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Richard-Sherman-blames-Patrick-Mahomes-for-Lamar-Jacksons-contract-situation-20230326-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at quarterback</a> to win in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-The-league-approves-a-rule-change-that-most-players-fans-will-enjoy-20230328-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">today’s NFL</a>. It’s a pass-happy league, and there’s a huge difference between having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Chiefs-QB-Patrick-Mahomes-reacts-to-the-new-TNF-rule-20230328-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and Davis Mills, with all due respect.
That’s why most teams always try and go the extra mile to land a potential franchise quarterback. And while there’s no such thing as a sure thing in the NFL Draft, some prospects sure stand out from the rest of the pack.
With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Who-has-the-number-one-pick-in-the-2023-NFL-draft-20230326-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 NFL Draft</a> just around the corner, we take a look at the top three best quarterback prospects in this promising class. So, if you’re team is picking on the top 3, this is definitely for you.
<h2>NFL Draft 2023: The 3 Best Quarterback Prospects</h2>
<h3>3. Anthony Richardson</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230329_BUS_217722_anthony_richardson.jpg_22993414_7e79bb5b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Anthony Richardson — Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
No other prospect in this class is as polarizing as Anthony Richardson. The Florida standout is the most athletic quarterback coming out of college this year, and it’s not even close. But his physical traits aren’t everything.
Richardson could become an elite dual-threat quarterback at the next level. But his accuracy woes and decision-making could drive multiple teams away. He’s still worth the risk as a Cam Newtonkind of guy, though.
<h3>2. Bryce Young</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230329_BUS_217722_bryce_young.jpg_22993414_96c62af3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bryce Young — Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Not so long ago, Bryce Young looked like a sure thing to be taken with the first-overall pick. That might no longer be the case, as some teams are concerned because of his small size and light weight.
But Young checks every other box. He’s got unmatched IQ and the ability to break down rival defenses in real time. He’s accurate, can make plays with his feet, and has proven to be a born leader.
<h3>1. CJ Stroud</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230329_BUS_217722_cj_stroud_x1x.jpg_22993414_853d2bda.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> CJ Stroud — Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
CJ Stroud overtook Bryce Young as the potential first guy off the board in the upcoming NFL Draft. He led an explosive Ohio State offense in college, and he looks like a can’t-miss kind of talent at the next level.
Stroud can hit his defenders in stride, and it seems like there’s no throw he can’t make. He can also extend plays with his feetand is a privileged athlete who rarely makes mistakes or gives the football away.

The2023 NFL Draftis scheduled to be held in<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Patrick-Mahomes-and-Chiefs-lose-key-piece-after-Super-Bowl-win-20230218-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City</a>fromApril 27 to April 29. In what should be a first round with a lot of quarterbacks taken, this opportunityis seen by thousands of fans as the biggest hope to transform their franchises. Just look what a difference a pick can make such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Peyton-Manning-makes-incredible-prediction-about-Patrick-Mahomes-20230212-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts.
Among the names who might be taken early is definitely Anthony Richardson. In his final year at the college level, the 21-year old became the starter for Florida and showed his explosiveness not only throwing (2549 yards/17 touchdowns) but also running (654 yards/9 touchdowns).
However, at least for many weeks, Anthony Richardson wasn’t seen by the experts as a contender to be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Which-team-has-the-1st-overall-pick-for-the-2023-NFL-Draft-20230108-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first overall pick</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2023-NFL-Draft-Bears-dont-rule-out-getting-a-quarterback-with-the-1st-overall-pick-20230110-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL Draft</a>. Then, in an incredible turn of events, the oddsmakers are starting to think differently.
<h2>NFL Draft 2023: Anthony Richardson odds for first overall pick</h2>
The2023 NFL Draftwill have a lot of big names at the quarterback position such asBryce Young(Alabama),C.J. Stroud(Ohio State), Anthony Richardson (Florida) and Will Levis (Kentucky).
In almost every mock draft, Bryce Young is the player destined to be the first overall pick. Of course, it will all depend if the Chicago Bears want him instead of Justin Fields or if they would trade the spotwith another team. Nevertheless, if Chicago don’t go quarterback, it’s almost certain that Young would go to the Houston Texans with the No.2 overall pick.
So, when everyone was certain of Bryce Young as the first quarterback taken in the NFL Draft, something really weird started to happen with Anthony Richardson. On February 16th, the odds for Richardson to be the first overall pick were +10000. Now, they’re all the way down to +700.
Currently, Anthony Richardson is behind other quarterbacks such as Bryce Young (-120), CJStroud (+275) or Will Levis (+550). However, the change in the odds has intrigued thousands of fans. If there’s a major surprise in the start of the NFL Draft, the former quarterback of Florida might deliver it.
