NFL draft: Every quarterback who went No. 1 overall since 1967

It is a foregone conclusion that the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to take Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, which kicks off Thursday night. They may as well put the New York Jets on the clock at this point.

Of course, it would ruin reams of mock drafts if Jacksonville didn’t go with Lawrence, although this list would still be apropos as the Jaguars have a huge need at quarterback.

The year 1967 was chosen for this list because that was the first year of the common draft between the NFL and the AFL.

Here are quarterbacks who were taken with the No. 1 overall pick and how their careers went.
