No matter what happens from here, Daniel Jones will always be part of an ultra-exclusive club. The NFL has been conducting its annual draft of college players since 1936. A year later, Sammy Baugh became the first quarterback ever drafted in the first round, when the Redskins drafted him out of Texas Christian.
It can be argued, quite reasonably, that every club for the rest of time has tried to do precisely what Washington did that day at the Hotel Lincoln (later the Milford Plaza, now Row NYC Hotel) on Eighth Avenue and 44th Street: identify a franchise quarterback and pluck him out of the early portion of the draft.
