Quarterbacks were in high demand during the recent NFL draft, with a record-setting number of QBs going off the board at a rapid pace. This draft marked the fourth time in the common draft era that quarterbacks were selected with the top three picks, and a total of six QBs were chosen within the top 12 picks, the fewest number of picks for six quarterbacks to be drafted.
The draft saw five quarterbacks selected in the top 10, matching the renowned 1983 class with six first-rounders in total. Teams across the league were eager to secure a top-tier passer who could potentially transform the fortunes of their franchise.
