Question
If the Cardinals draft Kyler Murray with the first pick of the draft, he’ll be the sixth quarterback that that franchise has drafted in the first round since the merger in 1970. That’s including Timm Rosenbach, who was selected in the supplemental draft in 1989 (costing them their first-round pick in 1990). What are the only other three teams that have used six first-round picks on quarterbacks in the last 50 years?
Answer
Cleveland, Tennessee and Indianapolis. The Browns have selected seven: Phipps, Kosar (supplemental), Couch, Quinn, Weeden, Manziel, Mayfield. For the Colts: Bert Jones, Schlichter, Elway, George, Manning and Luck. Tennessee: Pastorini, Everett, McNair, Young, Locker, Mariota. The Cardinals haven’t hit it big on any of their previous five: Pisarkiewicz, Stouffer, Rosenbach, Leinart, Rosen.
