But just three years later, the 2021 quarterback draft class instead largely looks like one great big bust.While NFL teams continue their assessments of another highly touted group of quarterbacks leading up to April’s draft, two of the five QBs drafted in the 2021 first round (Justin Fields and Mac Jones) were just traded for meager compensation.
