Which position group should the Dolphins target with their first selection in the 2023 NFL Draft?

Who were the best quarterbacks in the NFL in 2022?
Photo by David Berding/ Trying to separate quarterbacks’ performance from the effects of their surroundings Quarterbacks are the focal points of NFL offenses to a greater extent than ever before.
