The 2018 NFL draft saw four quarterbacks taken in the first 10 picks: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen. Lamar Jackson was taken with the last pick of the first round to make a grad total of five quarterbacks taken in the first round, which is fairly high number. We haven’t seen five quarterbacks taken in the first round since 1999 when Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Dante Culpepper and Cade McNown were all taken in the first 12 picks.
As of right now, none of the first round quarterbacks drafted in 2018 are listed as the starting quarterback for their respective teams.
