The Green Bay Packers have plenty of needs heading into the offseason and the 2023 NFL Draft, causing Dairyland Express to go position by position to highlight the top five guys at each of them.

It’s highly unlikely Green Bay will draft a quarterback with one of their top selections. They’re awaiting word about whether Aaron Rodgers will return and have another guy in Jordan Love who they are confident in. One of those two guys will be their starting quarterback in 2023 barring injury. My colleague Paul Bretl has a tremendous breakdown about the position here.

Still, crazier things have happened. Some elite quarterbacks will be available at the top of the draft so let’s check out the top five.

With an important 2023 NFL Draft on the horizon for the Green Bay Packers, here are the top five quarterbacks who will be available.

Packers’ draft prospects: Hendon Hooker, Tennessee

At 25-years-old, Hendon Hooker is a redshirt senior who had two monster seasons at Tennesee. Since 2021, he’s combined to throw for 6080 yards and 58 touchdowns while completing 68.8 percent of his passes and only throwing five interceptions in 24 games. He’s a candidate to be drafted in the second or third rounds.
