It’s not always the biggest names that are key to the NFL Draft. There’s a thing called value and here are some valuable picks at positions. Here are the top five QB values.

1. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers

— This is the only example of a No. 1 pick being good value in this draft, but Young is far and away the best QB.

Apr 28, 2023; Charlotte, NC, USA; Bryce Young holds up a jersey depicting his draft position at Bank of America Stadium.

2. Jake Haener, New Orleans Saints

— I love this pick. A big value in round four, he could be the starter of the future for the Saints.

Sep 10, 2022; Fresno, California, USA; Fresno State Bulldogs quarterback Jake Haener (9) throws a pass against the Oregon State Beavers in the first quarter at Valley Children’s Stadium.

3. Jaren Hall, Minnesota Vikings

— A round five flier? Why not, as he has the potential to follow Kirk Cousins down the line.

— A round four pick is a great value here, as he has the potential to be a starter for them down the line.

Nov 26, 2022; Bloomington, Indiana, USA; Purdue Boilermakers quarterback Aidan O’Connell (16) looks to pass the ball during the first quarter against the Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium.

5. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Cleveland Browns

— DeShaun Watson has nothing to worry about, but DTR is a nice round five get and a good insurance policy.

Nov 20, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; UCLA Bruins quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (1) scores a touchdown past Southern California Trojans linebacker Ralen Goforth (10) in the first half at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
