C.J. Uzomah Odds, Betting Trends and Props: August 2022

Quarterbacks are plentiful in the 2023 NFL Draft. Bryce Young of Alabama and C.J. Stroud of Ohio State could be the first quarterbacks off the board. Georgia set a record with 15 draft picks this year.

The NFL draft is unpredictable. Georgia's Travon Walker was the front-runner to be the top pick in 2022. Trevor Lawrence was a consensus top selection in 2021. Joe Burrow was known as a backup quarterback at Ohio State before his national title season at LSU. Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were seen as unlikely to become the first pick before their college seasons. The top draft pick is usually chosen from a premium position.

The New Orleans Saints had a dominant defense last season. C.J. Gardner-Johnson believes the team has the best defense in the league this year. The team's starting defense features Demario Davis, Cam Jordan, Marshon Lattimore and Tyrann Mathieu.

Chandler Jones is now a Las Vegas Raider. Arizona signed Cameron Thomas and Myjai Sanders in the third round. They also selected Jesse Luketa in seventh round and are looking for an edge rusher. Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine has Arizona targeting an outside linebacker with its first-round pick in his way-too-early mock of next year's draft.

The past two NFL Drafts were polar opposites in terms of the quarterbacks. The 2021 NFL draft saw five quarterbacks selected in the top 15. This past draft was a rock-bottom outlier. 2022 NFLDraft had only one passer selected within the first 73 picks. 2023 crop of quarterbacks should be closer to the 2021 group in regards to talent and potential.

Justin Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2021. He was the Big Ten Player of the Year and a finalist for the Heisman Trophy at Ohio State. C.J. Stroud is the current starter in Columbus. He also won the Offensive Player and the Redshirt Freshman of Year award. The question is whether the Bears should draft him.

The NY Jets are in the midst of a decade-long playoff drought. C.J. Mosley is optimistic about the team's chances this year. He believes it's 'playoffs or bust' for the Jets this season.

Jets are currently in the longest playoff drought in NFL history. C.J. Mosley believes they can make it in 2022. Jets have made some improvements this year and have a new coach in Robert Saleh. They brought in several young players at the draft. They went 4-13 last year. The AFC is more competitive than in years. New York is +650 to make the playoffs in 2020 and -1000 to be out of it. It's a long way from the last time the Jets were in playoffs. However, they have improved this season. Their players are more familiar with the playbook.

C.J. Holmes is a high school and college football player. He is hoping to play for hometown Saints.

Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud are the early frontrunners for the top quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft class, according to Peter King. Miami's Tyler Van Dyke, Boston College's Phil Jurkovec and Sam Howell are also considered to be good prospects. The 2022 NFL Draft was a mixed bag with only one quarterback selected in first round. The Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans might be willing to take a quarterback next year. They might also use a third-round pick on Matt Corral.

It's never too early to look ahead to the NFL Draft. The trends change from now until the pre-draft period next year. Sam Howell and Matt Corral were supposed to be the top quarterbacks in the draft last year, but they didn't happen.

After last year's NFL draft, it's never too early to start thinking about the 2023 draft. Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud will be in a heated battle to be the first off the board.
