The 2018 NFL Draft saw five quarterbacks get selected on opening night in the first round and only one — Josh Rosen — neither shined nor at least flashed promise during their first three seasons in the league.

That quarterback was Lamar Jackson, who the Baltimore Ravens traded back into the bottom of the first round to draft at No.
