Quarterbacks are on the menu at the NFL Draft in Cleveland on Thursday night, as the Jacksonville Jaguars have made Clemson star Trevor Lawrence the top pick.

As soon as the San Francisco 49ers traded three first round picks to move up to No. 3 overall, it became clear that quarterbacks would come off the board at a record pace at the NFL draft.
While QBs are widely expected to go 1-2-3 for just the third time in the common draft era that started in 1967, there are still questions about how many others will follow in the top 10 and first round.
Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are expected to be the top two picks to Jacksonville and the New York Jets, with the Niners likely picking between Mac Jones, Trey Lance and Justin Fields at No. 3.
