Committee Chairman
#79 Overall, Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons, #10 Quarterback
2023 Pre-Season Rank #61, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #87, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #121. Peak Period: 2016-20
Kirk Cousins' run with Minnesota has far surpassed what he did in Washington, with three of his four Pro Bowls coming as a Viking. However, it ended with an injury-plagued season. Nevertheless, Cousins is rapidly approaching 40,000 Yards (39,471) and has 270 Touchdown Passes, so the career numbers are decent, but clearly, he needs more.
For that to happen, it will have to be as an Atlanta Falcon, the team that signed him and took Michael Penix Jr. in the First Round. That leaves him with a cloud hanging over him to begin 2024, and Cousins has to win a ring to have any serious Hall of Fame consideration.
#38 Overall, Stefon Diggs, Houston Texans, #6 Wide Receiver
2023 Pre-Season Rank #48, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #57, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #118. Peak Period 2019-23
After five good years with Minnesota, many pundits wondered how Diggs would perform in Buffalo, but they need not have worried. Diggs blended perfectly with Quarterback Josh Allen, winning his first Receiving Yards Title in his first season with the Bills. Diggs was a Pro Bowl Selection in all four seasons in Western New York.
This year, he joins a loaded Houston Texans team and is five yards away from the magical 10,000 number.
#70 Overall, Brandon Scherff, Jacksonville Jaguars, Right Guard, #11 Offensive Lineman
2023 Pre-Season Rank #88, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #91, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #117. Peak Period 2016-17/2019-21
A five-time Pro Bowl selection with Washington, Brandon Scherff is entering his third season in Jacksonville, where he has been solid, but not quite at Pro Bowl level. At age 33, he still has time but has to earn a few more post-season accolades.
#99 Overall, Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals, #14 Quarterback
2023 Pre-Season Rank #82, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #82, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #115. Peak Period: 2019-23
The first three seasons of Kyler Murray’s career were pure excitement. He won the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 and was a Pro Bowl Selection in the next two. A dual-threat Quarterback, Murray was must-watch television, but the last two seasons have seen multiple injuries and a perceived bad attitude.
This is a crossroads season for Murray, who has the skills to be a top-five QB.
