    6. New York Jets

    16. Baltimore Ravens
    17. Los Angeles Chargers
    18. Seattle Seahawks
    19. Dallas Cowboys
    20. Detroit Lions

    Four teams in the top-six needs a quarterback and that includes the Browns having two picks in that range. The 2018 class could be a historic one in terms of the number of quarterbacks available, and the number one pick could be one of the biggest questions in recent years.

    Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen have each shown something to give teams a reason to draft them. After those five Luke Falk, Jake Browning, Ryan Finley, and J.T. Barrett could sneak into the second day of the draft.

    Teams further down in the first round such s the Cardinals, Chargers, Dolphins, Saints, Bengals, Redskins, and Ravens will have to consider a quarterback at some point based on their current starters injuries and age.

    It’ll be interesting to see how the Colts approach the third overall pick; do they get Saquon Barkley to take the burden off Andrew Luck’s shoulder or will they add a pass rusher like Bradley Chubb or Harold Landry?
