The NFL is a quarterback-driven league. And as such, the quarterback position drives the NFL draft. This year, three of the first four picks were signal-callers. All three are expected to become the faces of their respective franchises in relatively short order.
Of course, Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson weren't the only quarterbacks selected. In all, 14 quarterbacks were taken.
They included a player most thought would be a first-round pick and who slipped into Round 2. A 25-year-old rehabbing a torn ACL. Another older prospect who won back-to-back national championships. A longtime starter at UCLA.
