Can Alabama’s Bryce Young measure up to the other QBs in the 2023 NFL Draft?
The 2023 NFL Draft quarterback class is going to present general managers at the beginning of the first round with an interesting dilemma. The top of the quarterback depth chart features a pair of passers who are both worthy of the top pick. Alabama’s Bryce Young is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the draft, with great football IQ, accuracy, anticipation, and arm strength.

Here’s the best and worst case scenario for each top QB.
When it comes to the NFL Draft you’ll often hear terms like “high ceiling,” or “high floor” — and these are really pretty self-explanatory. It’s about the room for players to grow when they reach the NFL, and where they’re at right now. Truth be told, there are so many variables that go into a draft pick that the best prospect can falter if they land in the wrong spot, or the most mediocre prospect can become an All-Pro if they get taken by a team who know how to use them.
We see this every single year.

Nothing makes me roll my eyes as much as hearing the people on Love Is Blind say I love you after two days of talking through a wall while holding gold cups from Party City.
It’s not that easy to find love, but there’s often a considerable amount of hope during the talking stage. NFL teams can relate when it comes to the draft, because every first-round pick is destined for greatness. Yeah, sure. Eye roll.
In the past decade, many teams have found out the hard way it takes more than a “come get me” text from a draft prospect in the green room to find success in the first round.

Ryan Mountcastle homered twice and tied a team record with nine RBIs, helping the Baltimore Orioles rally from a four-run deficit to a 12-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics.

Longtime captain Patrice Bergeron and the Boston Bruins defeated the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, and the Bruins are now the most successful regular-season team in NHL history, owning both the single-season wins and points records.

Jimmy Butler said he is confident the Heat can turn things around in Friday’s must-win play-in game, but he was critical of the team’s effort, saying it needs to play “the exact opposite that we played tonight” to win.

Trae Young had 25 points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 116-105 road victory over the Miami Heat in a play-in game Tuesday night to lock up the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Lakers claimed the seventh spot in the Western Conference playoffs with a grueling overtime victory over the short-handed Timberwolves in the NBA’s play-in tournament Tuesday night.

The Lakers survived the NBA play-in tournament, outlasting the Timberwolves, 108–102 in overtime Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
But the victory came with more anxiety than necessary for the hosts.
After trailing by as 15 points in the third quarter, the Lakers chipped away at Minnesota’s lead and finally tied the game with about two minutes left. When Dennis Schröder buried a three-pointer from the left corner with 1.4 seconds left in regulation to give Los Angeles a 98–95 lead, the game appeared to be all but over.

Lakers fans complained about officiating against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Forget that
With the Lakers trailing by seven, 68-61, halfway through the third quarter, Lakers fans broke out in possibly the loudest REFS YOU SUCK chant of the year.

Listening to a fanbase whose team has received a laundry list of calls made in their favor cry about officiating was amusing.
