Original Selection: S Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne
Where he was actually picked: No. 26 overall
After three-plus years, we have a good idea of what Burrow, Herbert, Hurts and Tagovailoa bring to the table. All four have flashed their ceilings and proven to some degree that they are worthy being called a franchise quarterback.
The jury is still very much out on Jordan Love, though.
The Green Bay Packers stunned everyone when they traded up to the 26th pick to take Love with Aaron Rodgers still on the roster. Rodgers then went on to have back-to-back MVP seasons with Love on the bench.
Love is now getting his first shot as the starter, and he's producing mixed results. He came out looking good with six touchdown passes and no interceptions in the first two games of the season, but he showed the downside of his game with a three-interception performance in a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
If the Packers had to do the 2020 draft over, it would make sense to pass on a quarterback altogether. Instead, the New England Patriots are the team that should have been looking to draft a successor for a future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Tom Brady left the Pats in 2020, but they replaced him with Cam Newton before drafting Mac Jones in 2021. It's safe to say that path hasn't worked out. The Patriots are 1-4 this season, and Jones has thrown more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (five).
New England was reportedly interested in Love leading up to the 2020 draft. Even if Love didn't turn out to be their long-term answer under center, the Patriots would be getting ready to move on and would be a year ahead of where they are now in the search for a quarterback.
