Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love and the 10 Most Shocking QB Draft Picks Since 2000

In 1975, when hard rock band Nazareth decided to release their own cover of the Everly Brothers' "Love Hurts", they probably didn't envision the massive success the song would bring them. It was an international hit that reached the top of the charts on numerous boards and rankings.

Did they know that they'd also be projecting the two biggest surprise draft picks of the 2020 NFL Draft?

Of course, I'm referring to Jordan Love, selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round, and Jalen Hurts, taken by the Philadelphia Eagles on the following night. Both selections were near-unanimous eyebrow raisers for analysts and fans alike and sent ripples through the NFL community as the teams' pre-existing quarterbacks were scrutinized for their reactions.
