  • The 2018 NFL Draft was considered one of the best classes of quarterbacks, with four QBs vying for the No. 1 pick.
  • Five quarterbacks were taken in the first round, led by Baker Mayfield, and 13 were drafted overall.

Baker Mayfield went No. 1 overall to the Browns, winning what had been a big debate over who should go first in the draft.

After a strong rookie season, Mayfield's career in Cleveland flat-lined. He was traded to the Panthers this off-season and for now, appears to be their starting quarterback.
