In case anyone failed to notice, the AFC North now features three starting quarterbacks from the much-ballyhooed 2018 quarterback class in Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph. Many pundits, including this one, felt that the 2018 group of gunslingers was the best class since the fabled 1983 group, which was headlined by Hall of Famer’s John Elway, Jim Kelly and Dan Marino.
Most analysts grouped the top four quarterbacks as sure-fire successes: Mayfield, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold were all thought to be safe first round picks.
