Question

The early mock drafts suggest that there won’t be a quarterback selected in the top 10. That’s rare. The last time this occurred, who was the first quarterback chosen?

Answer

EJ Manuel (chosen 16th by the Bills in 2013). Others since the merger in 1970: Chad Pennington (18th, Jets, 2000), Jim Druckenmiller (26th, 49ers, 1997), Tony Banks (42nd, Rams, 1996), Dan McGwire (16th, Seahawks, 1991), Chris Chandler (76th, Colts, 1988), Randall Cunningham (37th, Eagles, 1985), Boomer Esiason (38th, Bengals, 1984). The hit average on these guys hasn’t been good in the last 30 years, but from the mid-‘80s, Esiason and Cunningham had very good careers, while Chandler started in a Super Bowl.
