In a historic moment, the NFL draft saw a rapid pace of quarterback selections in the first round. The trend began with the Broncos picking former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix as the 12th overall pick, marking six quarterbacks selected on Thursday night. This was a first in history as six quarterbacks were taken in the first 12 picks.
The Bears followed suit by selecting Caleb Williams, and Jayden Daniels went to Washington. Atlanta surprised many by selecting Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8, while Minnesota traded up to grab J.J. McCarthy at No. 10. This was only the second instance in NFL history where six quarterbacks were taken in the entire first round, with the first occurrence happening in the 1983 draft.
As offensive players continued to be chosen one after another, Nix became the 12th consecutive offensive player selected to start the round. The night in Detroit will be remembered for this unprecedented number of quarterbacks chosen and their rapid pace off the board.
In conclusion, this historic event marked a remarkable pace of quarterback selections during the first round of the NFL draft, with six quarterbacks picked within two picks of each other for only the second time in history.
